Directed by Jehane Noujaim (Egypt/USA)
This short documentary offers a unique and
intimate perspective into the thoughts of a
Moroccan imam and his wife as they discuss
their romance. They describe their thoughts
about how to build a deep, trusting, and
enduring relationship in this film that shows
the specific ways the Islamic faith relates
to the universal concepts of love and
respect.
Jehane Noujaim is the director of, among
other films, the award-winning documentaries
Control Room and Startup.com. Raised in
Cairo, Egypt, she attended Harvard University
and graduated magna cum laude with a degree
in Visual Arts and Philosophy. She has worked
for MTV's News and Documentary Division as a
segment producer for the series Unfiltered,
and as a director and cinematographer on
films such as Born Rich, Only the Strong
Survive, and Down from the Mountain. In 2006,
Noujaim won the prestigious TED Prize, an
annual award in which the recipients are
granted a wish. Jehane's wish -- to create a
day in which the world comes together through
film -- was the catalyst for Pangea Day.

n the early days of the war in Iraq,
Americans could turn on their televisions
twenty-four hours a day and take a front row
seat with coalition troops careening across
the desert. We could follow the action live
as precision bombers brought Iraqi cities to
their knees and American POWs were rescued
and triumphantly returned home as television
heroes. We could watch soldiers toppling
statues of Saddam Hussein.
But as Americans witnessed U.S. victory at
home, a different story unfolded on
television sets throughout the Arab world.
Qatari-based Al-Jazeera broadcast images of
Iraqi civilian casualties and American POWs
that were taboo in the American media. Many
claim that as a result, America barred
Al-Jazeera journalists from reporting on Wall
Street and bombed their headquarters in
Baghdad. As the saying goes there are always
two sides to every story, but in a
media-managed war where does the truth lie?
With exclusive behind-the-scenes access to
Al-Jazeera, American journalists, and the
players at Central Command, Control Room
takes an unprecedented look at the business
of war. Uniquely qualified with a
cross-cultural perspective, Egyptian-American
filmmaker Jehane Noujaim (Startup.com),
travels to the headquarters of Al-Jazeera and
U.S. Central Command to capture the staging
of the war in Iraq and the media's vital role
in writing history.
Director Jehane Noujaim is available to speak
with the film through Evil Twin Booking
Agency.

| Imagine! Kenya sings for India |
 |
Leading film-makers are seeking to change the
way we think about other countries. This is
one of a powerful series of films to be shown
on Pangea Day, May 10, "the day the world
comes together through film".
See all six anthems. Then visit
http://www.pangeaday.org and register your
screening for May 10. It's time to imagine a
different world.
Here, set against the backdrops of Nairobi
city and the beautiful landscape of Uhuru
Park (Maasai country), a Kenyan choir sings
the Indian national anthem.
The director has chosen the Indian anthem
because Kenya is home to a sizeable Indian
population (including Sikhs & Jains also) of
approximately 2.5 million, most of them
descendants of the East African Railways
labourers who were brought over by the
British during the late 19th and early 20th
centuries when the British colonialists ruled
Kenya and the rest of the East African
region.
