Control Room

이라크 전쟁에 대한 국제적인 인식을 엿볼 수 있는 드문 창을 제공하는 연대기. 아랍 세계에서 가장 인기 있는 뉴스 매체인 알자지라를 통해서다. 알자지라는 친(親)이라크적 보도를 한다는 이유로 미 행정부와 국방부 관계자들로부터 거센 비판을 받아왔으며, 민간인 피해와 미군 포로 영상 등을 자주 방송한 것에 대해서도 강한 비난을 받아왔다. 그러나 이 방송사는 부시 행정부가 세계에 보여주기를 꺼려했던 이라크 전쟁의 모든 면을 공개해왔고, 지금도 계속해서 보여주고 있다.

흥미로운 사실

Control Room is a 2004 documentary film directed by Jehane Noujaim, about Al Jazeera and its relations with the US Central Command (CENTCOM), as well as the other news organizations that covered the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Production

Control Room was originally to be funded by the BBC, but Noujaim's plan of documenting Al-Jazeera covering the war was passed along to BBC director Ben Anthony, who later produced Al Jazeera Exclusive. One of the reasons Noujaim's film is titled Control Room is that Anthony got exclusive access to the newsroom, which left her to shoot elsewhere, including the control room.

Noujaim says she wanted to be at the center of news creation and make a film on the broader perceptions of the war, a reason why she headed to [Al Jazeera]'s headquarters in Doha, which was barely 15 miles away from the Central Command, the military base of the United States.

Noujaim had raised $US60,000 for the film and says she did the film "as cheaply as she could". She rented an inexpensive Pakistani hotel in Doha and called upon her cinematographer friend Hani Salama to join the project. They both carried their own cameras, Noujaim with a Sony VX2000 and Salama with a Sony PD150. Noujaim was only in the Middle East for 30 days to complete filming for Control Room.
