See it!

Okay, so I have once again been very busy this week...

But not too busy to watch a "must see" movie - Control Room. I meant to see it in the theaters, but I seemed to keep missing it. We rented it last night, and were in for a very disturbing perspective on how the news can be, and is, inevitably altered. I have serious issues with calling either Al-Jazeera or Fox News the "right" broadcasting source. I was most reminded of varying perspectives, and how who were ARE always influences what we SEE.

Through all the hub-bub of Fahrenheit 911, this movie missed its day in the spotlight. I wonder if you go into it trusting only American news sources, if you will come out thinking differently. What I appreciated best was the film's simple attempt to tell a story, and not to preach a message. Yes, it did at times seem definitely slanted towards Al-Jazeera's points of view, but it was easy for me to continue to question ALL the news, even that of the film itself.
