At the request of the community, "Control Room" returns tonight to the Art Theatre in Champaign for one week only. |
“Control Room", a view inside Al Jazeera's network. It neatly bridges the gap between timeless and timely; timeless because it locates itself in the midst of the ongoing cultural clash between Western and Arab worlds, timely because it does so through the prism of satellite television's impact on how viewers receive information worldwide from news providers, driven by the patriotism of their audiences, to Army information officers, driven by military objectives. "Control Room" is a seminal documentary that explores how truth is gathered, presented, and ultimately created by those who deliver it.
Please check it out and show your support for this thought-provoking film that critiques mainstream media. There has never been a greater need to get alternative content into theatres and onto the airwaves. Spread the word and let the discussion begin!

Thanks for letting us know it's playing! I regretted that I missed it, but I'll definitely get over to the Art this time. |

It was really good - I'd definitely recommend it. Hey, would there be any interest in a bunch of IMCstas going together? I'd be up for seeing it again. |
