Noujaim has produced an interesting documentary of the Saudi television entity, Al Jazeera. It is well done and a good review of the initial stages of the war in Iraq from an Arabic point of view. There are reporters from the satellite station who give their own viewpoints. There are soldiers from our country who are moved by the other side's reporting. There is an innate conflict of interest and understanding that pervades the film. The nascent satellite station is better understood after viewing the documentary. It is worth the effort to see the DVD. There are no actors but good editing of this film. It is not a sparking cinema, but it is an educational one. I give it a 7 out of 10 rating.
