Control Room (2004)
Movie should be required in college classes
Although I don't speak Arabic, I have had Arabic-speaking students and friends for many years. Additionally, my background and interests in journalism, visual communications, sociology, anthropology, and international studies make me a "hard sell". This movie rang so true I was stunned. It will become a classic, "required" documentary for a myriad of courses, I have no doubt. Content-driven material pleasingly presented in a visual medium is hard to come by. What a gift to civilization's future Al Jazeera is, and Control Room gives English-speaking viewers a glimpse of understanding. I'll leave to others a discussion of the technical and logistical wonders this movie represents. I just want to be one of the predictors of its enduring greatness.
