No more thought control...

Particulary timely in light of the Iraq PM's decision to close Al Jazeera offices, the documentary film Control Room begins playing in Madison today.

Through the deceptively simple practice of watching, listening and editing, Jehane Noujaim captures the complexity of reporting, and has a great deal to say about truth, democracy and the ambiguous status of the free press in the modern world.
- A.O. Scott, New York Times

Control Room will be playing at The Orpheum Theater, 216 State St., 255-8755, through Thursday August 19.
