| "We brought back 15 minutes of the movie and we're concerned about any possible confiscation efforts on their part because of the value that that film has as a result of the work that we did while in Cuba" - Michael Moore |
Controversial film-maker Michael Moore has lashed out at the US government over claims that he entered Cuba illegally.
He believes an investigation into his recent visit to the country is simply because of his history of criticism against the White House.
The US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control is investigating Moore for travelling to Cuba to film his latest movie Sicko without the proper documents.
The film-maker believes the move is an effort to block the release of the documentary about health care in the US.
He said: "We brought back 15 minutes of the movie and we're concerned about any possible confiscation efforts on their part because of the value that that film has as a result of the work that we did while in Cuba."
The US government has not said if it will confiscate the part of the movie that was filmed in Cuba, although Moore has admitted he has copies in Canada of the section just in case.
Sicko premieres in US cinemas on June 29.
