Charting the struggles of Al Jazeera, CNN, and other journalists to cover, or create, news, Control Room takes audiences inside the war in Iraq, or at least the buildings where it was presented--like Al Jazeera headquarters, as well as U.S. Central Command, site of the war's most important battles: the press conferences. Egyptian American filmmaker Jehane Noujaim (Startup.com) highlights the passion and intelligence of individuals on all sides, following not only the reporters hoping to cover the war, but the U.S. military officers anxious to control that coverage. For the journalists of Al Jazeera, the problem is twofold: getting information from an increasingly oppositional American military and then dealing with the fact that their network is suddenly 'news' itself. Featuring fascinating interviews with Al Jazeera and American journalists, as well as with U.S. commanders, this is not only a proverbial behind-the- scenes look at the Iraq War, but a laying bare of the hidden battle for the real 'enduring freedom': to cover a war without being controlled"--Pacific Film Archive program note. 541 0 |3PFA 3500-01-16771 |aD0312 |cdonation |d 2015/08/07 |5CBPF 546 In English and Arabic with English subtitles. 590 PFA 3500-01-13127. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 2007/ 07/23; Excellent condition CONDITION NOTE: Last checked: 2007/10/12 Same. 590 PFA 3500-01-16771.|aEdge code: Kodak 2004.|aCONDITION NOTE : inspected: 2015/08/26 cv; very good; all leaders cut; all reels have base scratches on track and right screen area (light); all reels have emulsion scratch right screen (light) from platter. 610 20 Al Jazeera (Television network) 650 0 Television stations|zQatar. 650 0 Iraq War, 2003-2011|xTelevision and the war, [revolution, etc.]. 655 7 Features.|2mim 655 7 Documentaries and factual works|2mim 655 7 War documentaries.|2mim 700 1 Noujaim, Jehane. 700 1 Bacha, Julia. 700 1 Salama, Hani. 700 1 Varela, Rosadel. 700 1 DeRenzo, Thomas,|d1956- 700 1 Bankier, Lilah. 700 1 Marquardt, Charles. 700 1 Oxman, Alan. 710 2 Noujaim Films (Firm) 710 2 Magnolia Pictures (Firm) 710 2 2929 Entertainment (Firm) 935 GLADN17634064 941 0 PFA 3500-01-13127.
