Summary:
"This ... documentary goes behind the scenes at al-Jazeera's broadcast headquarters in Qatar during its nonstop coverage of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The program highlights the Arab-language network's differences from its Western counterparts, yet also illustrates striking similarities between al-Jazeera's media sensibilities and those familiar to most Americans. ... This episode also features a discussion of Middle East democracy between host Jamie Rubin and Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations."--Container.
