Where in the World is Osama bin Laden?

Morgan Spurlock follows up from his documentary Super Size Me to present a probing answer to the question that has seemingly become rhetorical.

Couched in Spurlock's terms of a new father looking to the security of his soon to be born child, he embarks on a search that takes him closer than most people would be willing to go. And that is the fundamental question addressed in his analysis, how far are we willing to go? The documentary provides a basic and fair assessment of American foreign policy and follows the director across the Islamic world in search of title character, embracing the differences and similarities in the cultures he finds there. Along the way it eviscerates the xenophobic demonization of Muslims as a whole which seems to permeate our media and a fair segment of American politics. The tale is interspersed with certain amount of humor. The opening segment with the caricature of Osama doing MC Hammer's 'Can't Touch This' is worth the rental price. I reccomend it cause in the process one becomes aware that the root problems in the Middle East aren't religious and political as they are economic. At least the ones, as Americans, we can address.
