Despite how socially responsible this film is, it wasn't very compelling. It could have been a great film, because the subject matter was interesting. But the filmmaking was amateur.

To me, this just seemed lazy. The filmmaker just followed some journalists around and stuck the film together with elmers glue. No story. No thesis. Not compelling at all. It could have been great. A documentary about Al Jazeera? Sounds good, but wasn't. As ed buggs from urban american television would say, "now that's just my opinion...but you know i'm right!"

I enjoyed this film. I truely did. But it was overhyped and overrated. But I'd still recommend it. Just a little overrated. Winged migration is a much more interesting (both visually and topically) than March of the Penguins.
