Yesterday I watched Control Room (IMDb - Wiki - Official - Trailer), a documentary about Al Jazeera during the start of the Iraq war in 2003. At this point I have little interest in the history of the war (and other documentaries cover that topic much better), but Control Room interests me from a media ethics perspective. I place it along side War Made Easy, Manufacturing Consent, and War Photographer as quality documentaries at the convergence of media and war.
