iRevolution: Online Warriors of the Arab Spring
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
iRevolution: Online Warriors of the Arab Spring is a documentary on Arab Spring in Bahrain (also known as the Bahraini uprising) prepared by journalist Amber Lyon and a team of producers for CNN. The documentary has aired only once on CNN US channel, to a positive reception. It has not been aired since, and it has never aired on CNN International. It has been claimed that Bahrain influenced CNNi to suppress it, and subsequently CNNi has been accused of biased coverage of the Bahraini revolution in general, and of suppressing (censoring) Lyon's critical documentary in particular. CNNi has denied those accusations.
