Control Room (2004)
10/10
A documentary about the Al Jazeera network.
10 July 2004
I thought this movie was excellent and offers a rare glimpse of how broadcast journalists in another culture operate. It is the perfect sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11. It helps Americans understand how the rest of the world views U.S. foreign policy.

Unfortunately, it brings the point home that among middle aged people in other parts of the world, the U.S. is still admired. However, among young people, our war in Iraq has helped them develop very negative attitudes, that will generate more terrorism.

While this movie is very educational, I would be leery of taking any child to it who was younger than about 15. They wouldn't enjoy it probably and would be very disturbed by some of the content.
