Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden

I’m not asking you, that’s actually the name of the movie we went and saw this afternoon. This is a documentary from Morgan Spurlock who broke out with his first movie Supersize Me where he ate McDonalds for 30 days straight to document it’s affects on his body. This time he’s decided to set out to track the #1 most wanted man in order to make the world safer for his soon to be born baby. He did just that traveling to many dangerous places all across the Middle East and asking many questions along the way.
This is no Michael Moore type documentary and for me that’s a good thing. Spurlock took a subject that could have been very politically skewed to push a right wing or left wing agenda but he stayed out of that. I felt he did a pretty good job of just putting things out there for the audience to make up their own minds of what’s being shown.
I highly recommend the movie. It’s a fascinating and at times chilling look at the issues we have in the Middle East. It’s depressing at times but also uplifting at others. More than anything it’s a movie that gets you talking and thinking.
