It's a must see. 2nd only to F9/11. It comes out on DVD this next Tues.

This Documentary Shows Arab Media Perspective on the War in Iraq.

The Young Marine Lieutenant in this film paid for his candidness with his career. He was repremanded by his superiors and now has plans to leave the Marine Corps.

3. Incredible Movie

My girlfriend and I left the theater shaking our heads after watching that movie. Our media has abandoned us; we're trained to look at the world in shades of "us" and "them". Although I never once doubted the humanity of the Iraqi people, I was still disturbed to see the human psychology of these people who we've been trained to consider "insurgents" and "terrorists". They're human beings, struggling to understand why a just God would allow such injustice to occur to their families; kind of like Americans during 9/11 - after we were attacked, we afforded ourselves quite a bit of nationalist chauvenism.
