Now Showing...Control Room

The Stanley Foundation is seeking community and student groups that are interested in partnering to show the documentary Control Room in their communities and on their campuses in an effort to open up a discussion about issues related to the rise of Arab media.

Control Room is a documentary featuring Al Jazeera's coverage of the current Iraq conflict. The movie will be included in a "Now Showing...Control Room" event toolkit. In addition to the Control Room DVD, the toolkit will include a discussion guide, the "24/7: The Rise and Influence of Arab Media" radio documentary, a recent issue of our quarterly magazine Courier focusing on Arab media, as well as the Open Media and Transitioning Societies in the Arab Middle East: Implications for US Security Policy report, and other materials.

Once you have hosted a "Now Showing...Control Room" event, please fill out a brief survey.
