“Fahrenheit 9/11″ has found a home. The latest Michael Moore documentary will be released through the Fellowship Adventure Group, a new company created by Miramax heads Harvey and Bob Weinstein. The movie is scheduled to debut in theatres June 25.

Lions Gate Films and IFC Films are also involved in the distribution deal.

Originally, Disney was to release the documentary, but pulled out because the company did not want to get involved in a political battle. The film is said to criticize George Bush’s handling of the attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.

“With Frodo (Harvey) and Sam (Bob) now in charge of the Fellowship, I welcome the addition of Lions Gate and IFC to our quest in bringing good family entertainment to the viewing public,” Michael Moore said in a press release. “Jon Feltheimer (now head of Lions Gate) produced my series `TV Nation’ and IFC produced my series `The Awful Truth.’ Not only am I in good hands, I am grateful to them now that everyone who wants to see it will now have the chance to do so — thanks to the record number of screens on which they plan to open it. On behalf of my stellar cast — GW, Dick, Rummy, Condi and Wolfie — we thank this incredible coalition of the willing for bringing `Fahrenheit 9/11′ to the people.”

“Fahrenheit 9/11″ won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Moore own an Oscar for his last documentary, “”Bowling for Columbine,” in 2002.
