Control Room is a rare film that is both timely and timeless: timeless because it explores the ancient and complex relationship between the Western and Arab worlds, timely because it reveals how satellite television has changed the way wars are reported - from news providers, driven by the patriotism of their audiences, to Army information officers, driven by military objectives.
Control Room is a seminal documentary that explores how Truth is gathered, presented and ultimately created by those who deliver it.

The problem is, that the movie does such a good job in making you question what is and isn't the truth and what is and is not bias that by the end of the film, you might not trust it.
Control Room takes us behind the scenes at the Al Jazeera news network. While you might not have heard of them before,
