Friday Night At the Meaningful Movies presents: "CONTROL ROOM"
"Control Room" is an incisive documentary about the role of Arabic news channel Al Jazeera during America's 2003 war in Iraq, the reporting of the war, and a sobering investigation of one of the most powerful weapons in modern military operations: the image. Filmed fly-on-the-wall and presented without narration, it begins in the days leading up to the start of the American bombing campaign in March 2003, and follows the reporting of 'Operation Enduring Freedom', through to President Bush's declaration - premature, as it turned out - that hostilities were over. Facilitated discussion with a representative from Tasveer films. FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE MEANINGFUL MOVIES ...every Friday Night. Sign up for our email events list: wnfp@bridgings.org.  more...
