Control Room (USA) (2004) ****Year: 2004iMDB
Director: Jehane Noujaim Cast: Samir Khader, Lt. Josh Rushing
For those looking for a real documentary on the war in Iraq, forget Fahrenheit 911 and have a look at Control Room. Following Al-Jazeera correspondent Samir Khader, the movie offers a well-balanced view of the war in Iraq, including opinions of American soldiers who acknowledge the bias and difference in presentations between the American media and the Arab one. As a companion, watch also Rupert Murdoch's Outfoxed documentary about the "professionalism" at Fox News. Although the American people already made their choice in the 2004 elections, documentaries like this may help more people understand how US is perceived by others and, most importantly, why.
