Berg Family Describes Nickâs Interview for Michael Mooreâs Film
From The Washington PostIn an unused interview for Michael Mooreâs latest film, the American who was later beheaded in Iraq said he was concerned about security there as he prepared to seek work as an independent businessman, his family said Saturday. Mooreâs crew shot the 16-minute interview with Nicholas Berg during an Iraqi business conference in Arlington on Dec. 4, said his brother, David Berg. .... Moore sent copies of the footage to David Berg in New Jersey and sister Sara Berg in Virginia. Their parents will see the video after returning to their suburban home from vacation, David Berg said. Sara Berg said her brother told Mooreâs crew he was nervous about his safety in Iraq. "He recognized it was a concern, and he kind of pointed out that heâd worked in difficult situations before," Sara Berg said from her home in Virginia Beach. "Itâs definitely something that he didnât shrug off." She said her brother seemed enthusiastic in the footage. David Berg, speaking from his home outside Newark, said it was "weird seeing Nick talk" but described the interview footage as dry. The interview, which was not conducted by Moore, centered on the technical work Berg hoped to find repairing radio transmission towers for his company, Prometheus Methods Tower Service. .... "Nick seemed to be fairly conscious of using this thing to promote his business," David Berg said. "[The interviewer] does ask him at one point about the money and he said no oneâs denying thereâs money to be made. But itâs very clear when you watch it, Nick knew he wasnât going to make a lot of money." .... Posted by: Mike Sylwester 2004-05-31 |
