I was looking through some old Al Jazeera documentaries from during the revolutions. I found this one on Bahrain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaTKDMYOBOU) and I must say it is truly a moving documentary. It reminded me of the documentary we watched in class the Arab Awakening- End of a Dictator.
Hey Taylor,
ReplyDeleteThere is a surprisingly excellent piece on the crackdown in Bahrain done by ESPN (it was through the prism of the athletes there). What makes it so different from other documentaries is that since Bahrain lowered its guard since it was just the sports network ESPN, they were able to get interviews with members of the royal family and were able to go into Bahrain at a time when foreign journalists were not being allowed entry.
