Acclaimed BBC2 documentary series The Power of Nightmares is heading for a big screen release in the US.

Adam Curtis's award-winning documentary examined the history behind the September 11 terrorist attacks and argued that the al-Qaida threat had been exaggerated by Tony Blair and George Bush for political ends.

The three-part series has never been seen in the US after it was rejected by American broadcasters, but is being lined up for a cinema release by Sony Pictures Classics.
