Full Plot Details

Whether Noam Chomsky, the MIT linguist and political philosopher, is the most important intellectual alive, as the New York Times once famously called him, is open for debate. But without a doubt, Chomsky, now 73, is one of the most straight-talking and committed dissidents of our time. A steadfast critic of United States foreign policy for decades, in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, his profile took a quantum leap as he provided much-needed analysis and historical perspective to concerned citizens throughout the world. In the months that followed, he gave dozens of talks on four continents, conducted scores of interviews, and wrote a book 9-11 that was published in 22 countries and became a surprise bestseller in many of them, including Japan. Chomsky's voice may be unpopular, but his incisive arguments, based on decades of research and analysis, are heard and considered in this chronicle comprised of interview footage, and various talks he's given. Chomsky places the terrorist attacks in the context of American foreign intervention throughout the postwar decades--in Vietnam, Central America, the Middle East, and elsewhere. Beginning with the fundamental principle that the exercise of violence against civilian populations is terror, regardless of whether the perpetrator is a well-organized band of Muslim extremists, or the most powerful state in the world. Chomsky, in stark and uncompromising terms, challenges the United States to apply to its own actions the moral standards it demands of others.

Movie Reviews

Seattle Times - 8/10 by Erik LundegaardVisually, it's about as exciting as C-Span. Doesn't matter. Chomsky, at 74, is as radical as ever.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Jami BernardWith Chomsky as its star, this documentary cannot go far wrong, even though filmmaker John Junkerman intersperses Chomsky footage with some really bad Japanese pop music.
TV Guide - 8/10 by Ken FoxAnyone unfamiliar with Chomsky's work may be unsettled by his unblinking critique of the U.S. policy at a time when patriotism is the order of the day, and while he fails to offer any real solutions, his conscientious perspectives on the questions remain invaluable.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn enlightening documentary in which a 74 year-old MIT linguist and political philosopher speaks out forcefully and convincingly against all forms of violence.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Dana StevensA searching and wide-ranging debate has unfolded about America's response to terrorism and, more broadly, about the history and future of its role in the world. Mr. Junkerman's film is best understood as a necessary, if partisan, text in that continuing argument.
Boxoffice Magazine - 7/10 by Rachel DeahlThe kind of film that you hope makes it onto the TV screens of every high school class in the country.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Owen GleibermanAt 73, Chomsky seems to understand everything about power and aggression -- except, that is, its centrality to human nature.
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) - 7/10 by Brian GibsonThis sometimes fawning documentary is selling a simple image of Chomsky to his faithful, not expanding on or further discussing the man's ideas.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Michael O'SullivanIts important if inflammatory message will bore all but Chomsky's fellow travelers to death.
Los Angeles Daily News - 6/10 by Bob StraussWhether one agrees with him totally, to some degree or not at all, it's hard not to appreciate the thoughtfulness of Noam Chomsky's gently spoken, hard-defended positions.
