Open-minded examination of the coverage of the Second Gulf War on the Al Jazeera satellite channel. The spokespeople for the Arab news station represent their own viewpoint very well; and as the only critical analysis of their work comes from the likes of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld (in press-conference footage), it doesn't cut very deep. The one thing the viewer will learn with certainty is that the people who work for Al Jazeera are people. So, too, apparently, is the baby-faced media liaison who works for CentCom ("Sounds too much like sitcom"), Lt. Rushing of the U.S. Marines. Directed by Jehane Noujaim. (2004) — Duncan Shepherd
