A chronicle which provides a rare window into the international perception of the Iraq War, courtesy of Al Jazeera, the Arab world's most popular news outlet.

Movie Reviews

Film Threat - 10/10 by Rick KisonakHere's the sliver of hope: In contrast to everything we've been told, the people who run Al Jazeera turn out to be decent and level headed.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Jonathan CurielOne of the year’s most significant films.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittA riveting new documentary about the Arab-run Al Jazeera network, reminds us that news programming can vary so widely from place to place that journalistic myths of "objectivity" and "impartiality" seem more naive than ever.
Netflix - 10/10 by James RocchiRiveting documentary about Al-Jazeera has a simple, sturdy structure, a critical eye and a plain-spoken style.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Ty BurrAbout the search for common ground, among journalists on all sides of the conflict and, through them, between viewers in America and the Arab world. Only within that common ground, Noujaim believes, can something like a workable, personal truth be found.
The New Republic - 10/10 by Stanley KauffmannIt is easy to point out gaps in Noujaim's account. (What, for instance, about the rebuilding that tries to go forward in Iraq?) But the prime importance of this film, I'd say, is that it is not an eye-opener. Of course this change in reporting, this bilateralism, has occurred so far only in wars where the U.S. was the overwhelming superior in force.
PopMatters - 10/10 by Cynthia FuchsThe struggle to report news, or even to decide what constitutes news, pervades the American war against Iraq.
The Film Yap - 10/10 by Nick Rogers"Control Room" acknowledges wartime journalism sits between objectivity and propaganda, indifference and passion. Neutrality doesn't exist; to avoid gore is a stance. In a way, it's TV's true reality - the impossibility of objective footage of horror.
Film Threat - 9/10 by Tim MerrillIn the end, the greatest achievement of Control Room may be to simply remind us, as Americans, that in this age of mega-corporate U.S. news media there are other perspectives on world events besides those of Fox, CNN, MSNBC-ABCBS and whoever else feeds us our information.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 9/10 by John BeifussIn the words of an Al Jazeera producer: 'Rumsfeld calls this ''incitement.'' I call it true journalism.'
