One disability problem is that the film is being shown in some of London's inaccessible cinemas such as "The Screen on the Green" in Islington, however some accessible cinemas are also showing it.
Of course the tragedy of Iraq one of Bush's misadventures is drawing money away from improving access to the environment.
So far 37,000 civilians have been murdered (mainly by the Bush & Blair invaders) and nobody has yet counted all the people who now have physical and psychological impairments as a direct result of this war against the people of Iraq. This must also include those who were tortured by the British and US forces.
I no longer buy US products as one nonviolent way of stopping US terrorism other than seeing Mr Moores great film.
