I saw it when it came out in the theatres, and am watching it again. It is a great documentary interviewing jounalists from Al-Jazeera and other Arabic news channels. It gives a lot of different perspective on events dealing with the U.S. invasion of Iraq. One of the things that really gets me is the U.S. attack on journalists. In one day they attacked two INDEPENDENT Arab media buildings and killed a journalist from Al Jazeera. Undoubtedly they show things from an Arab perspective, but it also shows how slanted the U.S. own coverage has been. It is a great documentary for anyone that gets the chance to watch it.
It's a fantastic film. Human life is all about perspective. This is a point of view most Americans know nothing about. I'm itching to hear the commentary from the director, the al-jazeera guys and from the us armed forces guy. Now I just have to pry the DVD away from my mom. I kinda knew the director many years ago, well we had some classes together.
That's cool. I didn't realize that the DVD had commentary from those folks. I will have to get that DVD. That is cool that you had a class with the director. It was a great film.
