What charity is Disney demanding a cut of F 9/11's profits go to?
Maybe I'm misreading this, but it seems Disney is requiring a portion of Fahrenheit 9/11's profits go to a mysterious charity. Does anyone know what that charity is? Does this seem odd to any of you?

I noticed this on a Reuters article:

Disney allowed Bob and Harvey Weinstein, the brothers who head its Miramax unit, to distribute the $6 million film on their own under a complicated deal which required them to give a cut equivalent to Disney's share, had it distributed the film, to a charity.

Disney on Friday did not say what that charity was.

2. Interesting.
I think you're probably on the right track there. Good find.
