LONDON: British television channel More4 plans to broadcast a dramatic film, documentary-style, about a fictional assassination of US President George W. Bush, the network's head said Thursday. The program uses actors and digital manipulation of real footage to show a fictional account of Bush being gunned down after delivering a speech in Chicago, Peter Dale, the head of More4 , told a news conference. ” Death of a President ”,' also scheduled to be shown at the Toronto Film Festival in September, focuses on all those linked to the pretend crime -- including nearby anti-war protesters nearby, suspects, Secret Service guards and investigators, Dale said. More4 , which is the digital offshoot of Britain's Channel 4 network, plans to show the program on Oct. 9. The White House declined to comment on the network's announcement, saying it would not dignify the program with a response. ``It's an extraordinarily gripping and powerful piece of work, a drama constructed like a documentary that looks back at the assassination of George Bush as the starting point for a very gripping detective story,'' Dale told reporters. ``It's a pointed political examination of what the war on terror did to the American body politic,'' he said. Dale said he expected the film would upset some, but defended it as a sophisticated piece of work. ``It's not sensationalist, or simplistic but a very thought-provoking, powerful drama,'' he said. ``I hope people will see that the intention behind it is good.'' `` Death of a President'' is directed by Gabriel Range, whose 2003 TV movie `` The Day Britain Stopped'' showed what might happen if the country's transportation network ground to a halt.
