Hello folks,
Has anyone here seen the documentary "Control Room" by Jehane Noujaim? For the uninitiated, here are some links:
The movie's website: http://www.controlroommovie.com/
The IMDB entry: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0391024/
Rotten Tomatoes: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/control_room/
a Boston Globe review: http://www.boston.com/movies/display?display=movie&id=6776
The documentary takes a look at the Al Jazeera news organization during the build up to the Iraq war and during it. In a larger sense, it looks at the role media and propaganda play in wars. I thought this was a very good movie and was happy to have an opportunity to look at things from another viewpoint, even if I don't necessarily agree with all its points.
Has anyone else seen this documentary?
