Wow.... Talk about seeing things from the other side. The documentary Control Room is a point of view from the Arab news station Al Jazeera regarding the start of the war in Iraq. This film shows what these people went through to cover this war and the danger they faced from opposing factions including America. When watching the screaming Iraqi people condemning America for their actions, we get to see the whole picture and not just something that strikes fear in us. We see, in this film, the reason for the anger and frustration and understand why many people have become so anti-American. Seeing the way America was dealing with this situation was saddening. I was never a fan of the Bush administration but now I am even more sickened by their actions. If you still have no idea why so many people in the Middle East despise America, see this film to gain some much needed perspective.
