The media belongs to war and control of reporting to victory. Since 1996, the first independent Arab-language news network, Al Jazeera, has caused the "balance" of pictures, the West’s monopoly on news from the East, to totter. Jehane Noujaim spent three months at the controversial news station, from the eve of the war to the fall of the first Saddam statue in Baghdad. As a result, "Control Room" is not only a gripping analysis of the Al Jazeera phenomenon, but also a highly emotional chronology of the latest Golf War.
