NEW YORK (Reuters) - Filmmaker Michael Moore has stashed a copy of his latest documentary in Canada because he fears the U.S. government will try to confiscate it after part of it was filmed during an unauthorized trip to Cuba.

The U.S. Treasury Department is investigating Moore's trip to communist Cuba in March to film part of his documentary, "SiCKO," which takes a swipe at the U.S. health-care system and is due to be released in U.S. theaters on June 29.

U.S. citizens are generally barred from going to Cuba, unless approved by the government under a broad trade embargo imposed since 1962. But Moore says he has not broken any laws because he traveled to Cuba for a "journalistic endeavor."

"We brought back 15 minutes of the movie and we're concerned about any possible confiscation efforts," Moore told a news conference in New York.

"We took measures a few weeks ago to place a master copy of this film in Canada so if they did take our negative we would have a duplicate negative of this film in Canada."

Moore -- whose 2004 anti-Bush film "Fahrenheit 9/11" ranks as the most successful U.S. documentary -- and lawyer David Boies accused President George W. Bush's administration of discriminating against the controversial filmmaker.

Molly Millerwise, spokeswoman for the Treasury Department, declined to comment, saying in an e-mail that the department does not confirm or deny the existence of investigations.

Moore traveled to Cuba with three volunteers who worked in the ruins of New York's World Trade Center after the September 11, 2001, attacks. He said the volunteers were now suffering health problems after working at Ground Zero and struggling to get appropriate treatment under the U.S. health-care system.

Moore said that he took them by boat to the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, where Washington is holding foreign terrorism suspects, to see if they could get the same free health coverage as the detainees.

After they were refused, he said they decided to see what kind of health care they could get in Cuba.

He's just seeking attention, because this stupid film is NOT being accepted like his Bush bashing mockumentary...

If he thinks Cuba is so great......why doesn't he move there..
The guy is a joke..

That's all he ever does, creates media attention. I watched Bowling for Columbine and I have Farenheit 9/11 but haven't watched it. Those only became popular because he had backing by the Democratic Party.

That fat SOB needs to be brought up on charges. To bad the Cubans didn't take him hostage :(

Charges of what?

[Hagbard Celine]

That's all he ever does, creates media attention. I watched Bowling for Columbine and I have Farenheit 9/11 but haven't watched it. Those only became popular because he had backing by the Democratic Party.

All this time I was under the impression that his movies became popular because of good marketing campaigns and interested viewers. Never knew the *gasp* :tinfoil: "Democratic Party" was behind it all. :rolleyes:

[nevadamedic]

Charges of what?

Treason.

[Hagbard Celine]

Treason.

What? That's a tad over the top. Why?

[nevadamedic]

All this time I was under the impression that his movies became popular because of good marketing campaigns and interested viewers. Never knew the *gasp* :tinfoil: "Democratic Party" was behind it all. :rolleyes:

The Democratic party is behind everything that is wrong with society today.

[nevadamedic]

Maybe we can fix Steph up with Mikey Moore :laugh2:

[Hagbard Celine]

The Democratic party is behind everything that is wrong with society today.

:tinfoil: uh-huh. go off your meds today did you?

[nevadamedic]

:tinfoil: uh-huh. go off your meds today did you?

Your just young and have been misled.

[Hagbard Celine]

Your just young and have been misled.

Uh-huh. Any more wisdom to impart on me pops?

[nevadamedic]

Uh-huh. Any more wisdom to impart on me pops?

Yea dont vote Democrat in 08
