A request for licensing “Fahrenheit 9/11” in Kuwait was filed with the Information ministry last month by the state-owned Kuwait National Cinema Company, which owns all of the country's cinemas.
The film has already been showing for several weeks in the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon, where it has been a success. It opened simultaneously on 3 August in Qatar, Bahrain and Oman and is due to open soon in Egypt. Pirate copies have also been circulating clandestinely in several of the region's countries.
