It's actually about Al Jazeera, the controversial (in the US, anyway) network that generally broadcasts the Bin Laden tapes and has shown some of the beheading pictures.
I may go see it if I have time.
I heard an interview with one of their "Journalists" (quotes used because their definition is a little different than ours) on NPR which was pretty interesting when they got into the different meanings of words between cultures.
One I remember is Martyr, which in their use is anyone who dies, basically -- as oppossed to our understanding. In other words, when they call a terrorist who has been killed a martyr, the aren't necessarily "honoring" her/him. It's a difference in the ethnic connotation.
