PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore (news) interviewed Nick Berg, the American contractor beheaded in Iraq (news - web sites), for his latest film and has offered to show the footage to Berg's family before he would release it, a family spokesman said on Friday.



Bruce Hauser, the spokesman and Bergs' neighbor in West Chester, Pennsylvania, said Moore called him to confirm reports that the footage existed and that Moore wanted to send a copy to the Bergs for their approval before its release.


The clip was made during the filming of "Fahrenheit 9/11," Moore's new movie attacking the Bush administration, which won this year's Palme d'Or, the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival (news - web sites).

1. Wow,

talk about a small world and eerie coincidences. Either that, or the conspiracy theorists (which have a few valid points this time) are going to have a field day with the connection of Berg to an anti-war documentary.

Regardless, it amazes me how conspicuous Berg seemed to make himself and/or the massive amount of bad luck that came his way

2. Reminds me of the documentary "Dear Jesse"

About Jesse Helms and his extreme homophobia. The crew was interviewing kids at some campus during a gay rights really. After the credits roll, they show more footage of the interview and it turns out one of the kids was Matthew Shepard.
