Control Room

Control Room is an amazing documentary about the Al Jazeera television network. It screens tonight at 9:30 as part of the Atlantic Film Festival and on Sunday, September 26 and Friday, October 1st at 11pm Atlantic Time on CBC Newsworld and it's a fascinating look inside a television news operation that happens to be the most popular and most controversial station in the Middle East. What is great about the documentary is that it is a very human story that shows the reaction of people involved in reporting and shaping the news as the War in Iraq began. Fairly subtle and very human.
