I saw it in the theatre so missed the outtakes. I'd like to see those. Now that I think about it, the film might stir up some interesting discussion in class on the ethics of media.
I thought the film did an excellent job of portraying the humanity of the people who work at Al Jazeera. I was also suprised that the media relations spokesperson at CentCom seemed to have questions himself about his role in the process.
I suppose some of its interest arises from the fact that we don't get much information at all about the behind the scenes activity of news programs that we watch every day. It's too bad someone wasn't doing a similar film about Fox or CBS at the same time so we could compare the two. I think the film has value just for its insight into the life of war reporting irrespective of the ethnicity of the actors.
