Filmmaker Jehane Noujaim unveils her TEDPrize wish: to bring the world together for one day a year through the power of film. Noujaim won the 2006 TEDPrize, which grants recipients $100K and a wish to change the world. She's an award-winning documentary filmmaker, responsible for Startup.com and the gutsy, controversial documentary Control Room. Two weeks before the U.S. invasion in Iraq, Jehane went to Qatar, gained access to both Al Jazeera and the U.S. military's Central Command offices, and caught the onset and outbreak of the Iraqi war on film. The result, "Control Room," lays out the divergent ways the war was reported by the Arabs and the West. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 26:23) - More TEDTalks at http://www.ted.com
