. Perhaps the most startling revelation from Control Room, directed by Jehane Noujaim, is the fact that American bombing unapologetically targeted Al Jazeera filming locations, obviously retaliating against the network’s coverage of news that sought to achieve objectivity by balancing the spin placed on news by the American military press office. The Political Film Society was established to recognize the courage of movie directors to raise the political consciousness of filmviewers via feature films, so documentaries have been excluded from consideration. Nevertheless, Moore’s Roger & Me, a film that told a story of how Michael Moore tried to interview Roger Smith, General Motors CEO, fell between the cracks and was nominated for and won a Political Film Society award as best exposé of 1990. Control Room certainly deserves serious consideration. MH
