| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA long, fascinating docu about the noted MIT professor and his lifelong work about propaganda in American society, or more specifically how the mass media set the agenda by selecting, distorting, framing--and also ignoring--major social issues. |
| User ReviewSteve WNoam Chomsky is a modern day hero of the truth! This movie gave me hope and made me re-think my negative attitude towards people. One of those movies that changes your view on life, even if just a little :) |

| User ReviewRobert BA must... He manipulates the image to show how easy it is while preaching against it... Look closely and learn ! Thanks Mr. Chomsky! |
| User ReviewChristos VThis should be part of primary school curriculum. |
| User ReviewGary FProbably the most complete, confounding, and electrifying political discourse on film. Wintonick and Achbar present Chomsky and his ideas with articulate complexity and wild cinematic virtuosity. An incredible film. |
| User ReviewJason MEvery american needs to read at least one Chomsky book. |
| User ReviewDaniel KThe facts, just the facts, and yes, the details do matter! If the faschists kill this man, this professor of human cumminication theory will most likely become a martyr for a revolution .. A strong advocate for free press/speech! ;) |
