PHILADELPHIA -- In an unused interview shot for Michael Moore's latest film, the American who was beheaded in Iraq said he was concerned about security there as he prepared to seek work as an independent businessman, his family said Saturday.
Moore's crew shot the 16-minute interview with Nicholas Berg during an Iraqi business conference in Arlington, Va., on Dec. 4, said his brother, David Berg.
…Moore confirmed Thursday that he had footage of Berg -- shot for his film "Fahrenheit 9/11," which is critical of President Bush -- but said he would share it only with the family.
…David Berg said Moore handled the situation with "dignity, respect and discipline."
"Michael Moore has really been a total class act with this whole thing," David Berg said. "He could have sold this to the media or stuck it in his movie."
Sara Berg said she saw the video footage as a "gift."
