Mister P-Mosh Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 This is a movie about the Al Jazeera TV station right before the war in Iraq to the point where Bush declared "Mission Accomplished" and the military attacked the media in the three attacks in one day on Al Jazeera, Abu Dhabi, and the Palestine hotel. Basically, it was an interesting look at their internal conflicts between bias in support of their own people, as well as others that want to be completely objective. It also shows how they were hated by both the Bush administration and Saddam's regime. I was also interested in their portrayal of a U.S. Marine who they initially had conflict with (the bad feelings were mutual) but developed a relationship where both the Al Jazeera reporters and the Marine became friends and ended up learning about each others' cultures. All in all, it was an interesting look into the Fox News of the arab world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
