'Sicko' in Cannes

Updated on 19 May 2007

Why Michael Moore's latest controversial film could be seized by US authorities before it's even released.

His film Fahrenheit 9/11 made political waves - and took a prestigious Palme D'Or award at Cannes three years ago.

Now the film maker Michael Moore has returned to the city - to premiere a new documentary about the American healthcare system.

And once again - his work's attracting controversy. The US treasury is investigating whether its longstanding trade and travel embargo with Cuba was broken during the making of 'Sicko'.

Our arts correspondent Nick Glass is at the Cannes Film festival to hear from the controversial director.
