Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?

by DeAnn Welker April 16, 2008 2:15 PM
Morgan Spurlock, the guy who brought us Super Size Me and 30 Days takes on an entirely different project this time: He sets out to find Osama Bin Laden. By himself. Because, as he says, "If I've learned anything from big-budget action movies, it's that complicated global problems are best solved by one lonely guy." The documentary shows Spurlock being safety trained before leaving, then heading into various countries walking up to people asking where to find Osama. He sits down with Bin Laden's uncle and asks him if he'd turn him in for the $25 million. There is at least hesitation before he answers, and we don't know if he says yes or now. Spurlock is told it's an impossible mission, but that won't deter him; there's a big-budget action franchise named after impossible missions, right? That just fuels the fire. It looks funny and more than a little scary (he of course travels into Taliban territory). You can view Spurlock as either brave or stupid for doing this, but if it makes people take a new or different look at the parts of the world he travels to, it's more than served its purpose.
