Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock asks "Where in the World is Osama bin Laden?" in an upcoming movie that takes him all around the Muslim world:
Spurlock traveled to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Israel, Egypt and Morocco, interviewing dozens of people from school children to bin Laden family friends. The work was extensive, much deeper and more textured than anything I’ve seen on network news shows.Indeed, Spurlock travels to bin Laden’s former farm, now a group of abandoned huts in Pakistan. He even goes into one of those caves we keep hearing about, a likely spot where the maniacal architect of Sept. 11 could be hiding. He’s shot at, bullied and reprimanded. Spurlock even had his cameras shut down. But still he persisted.
The result of "Where in the World is Osama bin Laden?" is extraordinary. Along the way, his meetings with regular people — man-in-the-street-type stuff — in those aforementioned countries are superb.
No visits to Iraq or Iran, alas, but it still looks like a fascinating production. If it isn't a trash-America movie then this is certainly one I'm going to want to see.
Given that this is the same genius who produced the stupidly slanted critical darling "Super Size Me" and is currently producing "The Republican War on Science" I wouldn't hold out any hope for a movie that will play well outside of ANSWER meetings if I were you.
I don't know how super size me could have been anything other than slanted, its conclusion was obvious from the outset. It's like debating this house believes that rare elephants should be hunted and their tusks made into ornamental cigar lighters. Everyone knows what the answer is, the only reason for going through with the debate is for fun and tangential points of interest.
