Produced in 2004, 'Control Room' is a documentary which was written by Julia Bacha and Jehane Nujaim and was also directed by the latter. It is a documentary on Al Jazeera's relations with the US Central Command(CENTCOM) and other news organizations on the coverage of the 2003 Iraq invasion by America. This documentary does not only examine the frenzy of broadcasting on such a delicate matter but also scrutinizes the issue of biased broadcasting amongst different news organizations due to political influence. It reveals the omition of vital facts about the invasion of Iraq by many European and English news organisations under the influence of America and shows how an Arab news organization such as Aljazeera covers all of the information. I found this documentary important to my project because it provides facts on America's invasion of Iraq which I was previously unaware of, and hence my short film tackles the topic of extremism, I need these facts to understand the reasons why some of these Islamic extremists resorted to violence, when the invasion began and why it happened.
