Just rented this from NetFlix, documentary film about Al-Jezeera, mostly
following around a couple of their journo's at the start of the current conflict in Iraq.
Interesting background on what Al-Jezeera stands for and why they broadcast what they do, serious journalists trying to inform and provoke the people of Arab nations.
A lot of the action takes place at the US Milatry central command media center and follows on the marine corps offical spokesman, a nice guy trying to argue the military point of view to real journalists from all over the world, suffice to say he has a hard time.
about 45 mins of interesting material, I slept through most of the remaining 30 as it gets a bit samey.
