Control Room

Synopsis

A documentary on the coverage and perception of the American and British War against Iraq, but this time from the perspective of the Arabic news channel Al-Jazeera. It provides an important contrast to the Western coverage and goes some way to investigating the saying that the first casualty of war is truth.
