Control Room
- Documentary
- War
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. Roundly criticized by Cabinet members and Pentagon officials for reporting with a pro-Iraqi bias, and strongly condemned for frequently airing civilian causalities as well as footage of American POWs, the station has revealed (and continues to show the world) everything about the Iraq War that the Bush administration did not want it to see.
Control Room is a 2004 documentary that offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at Al Jazeera's coverage of the Iraq War. The film examines how the Arab world's largest news network reported on the conflict while facing intense criticism from U.S. officials who accused it of bias. It provides insight into the international perspective on the war and the role of media in shaping public understanding of major global events.
