Read the Full Story from ReutersMiramax film studio founders Harvey and Bob Weinstein have personally acquired rights to Michael Moore (news)'s documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" from Walt Disney Co., after Disney, which owns Miramax, declined to distribute it, Disney said on Friday.
Miramax had funded the film but Disney said it was too politically charged for the family-friendly company.
