"In order to do so, the film grossly downplays US involvement in the region, treating Saudi Arabia as though it acts independently of the US. It also fails to ever mention Israel, totally removing one of the most important players in the Middle East from its “Cold War” narrative." "Instead of challenging and informing the public, corporate media speak directly from the perspective of the CIA, and act as handmaidens to empire."
