I found "Control Room" to be a very very well done film. It was very interesting to see the Iraq war from an arab perspective. I was fascinated with how little I knew about Al Jazeera and how much of that information was based exclusively on 3rd party comments, and not on any direct expirience. I think the movie was pretty balanced in terms of showing both sides of the story. It really gives you a different perspective on the media, and how the coverage of the war was scripted and how some organizations work for and against that scripting.
As a documentary I think it might be the best one I've seen lately, and I have to admit I've become a bit of a documentary junkie as of late.
I highly recommend seeing this. It's worth the $8.
