Anyone see this yet? It looks like it could be really interesting, but I don't want to sit through an hour and a half of propaganda (either pro or anti war/american). Any sugestions?

Al-gazers itself is a slanted tv network, just like the ones here, so the film just shows what the Middle Eastern people are made to believe. I'm going to have to see this before it leaves my parents saw this the other day and thought it was really good.

yeah, I did end up seeing it and thought it was really good. It wasn't anti-american or anti-war. It was, however, very much pro-al jazeera (the arab equivalent to CNN). It did poke fun of the american news outlets a little, but I wouldn't say this film was that critical (or as critical as they could be) of anyone.
I thought this was a excellent film and well worth a watch. It might even help show another point of view to what's going on over there in Iraq. But I don't think it really was all the political (compared to that OTHER documentary out right now).
