Negative Positive
Title: Objective and compelling
Review: I'd heard much about "Control Room", Jahane Noujaim's doc about the Al-Jazeera network. We Americans have been led to believe that A-J is anti-American, but this film suggests that it reports as it sees it, and is quite objective. I was convinced. Important interviews with the head honchos were sincere and heart-felt, often earthy about the necessity to inform.That this film is so highly regarded, I can only believe that it tells the truth. There's a lot of propaganda fed to us Americans, and because of our own network coverage, much isn't reported as it truly is. A-J doesn't sugar-coat the news, with often graphic shots that are unsettling. War is ugly; peace is unattainable because of the crazies who don't believe in an Allah of Love. God/Allah help us all!
