麻省理工学院语言学的荣誉退休教授诺姆·乔姆斯基一直以来抨击美国政策,甚至受到生命危险。这次纪录片从他的访谈中揭示了半世纪以来美国的政策如何制造了一个经济上空前不平等的国家。感觉他和迈克尔·摩尔应该成为好朋友。REQUIEM FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM is the definitive discourse with Noam Chomsky, on the defining characteristic of our time - the deliberate concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a select few. Through interviews filmed over four years, Chomsky unpacks the principles that have brought us to the crossroads of historically unprecedented inequality - tracing a half century of policies designed to favor the most wealthy at the expense of the majority - while also looking back on his own life of activism and political participation. Profoundly personal and thought provoking, Chomsky provides penetrating insight into what may well be the lasting legacy of our time - the death of the middle class, and swan song of functioning democracy. A potent reminder that power ultimately rests in the hands of the governed, REQUIEM is required viewing for all who maintain hope in a shared stake in the future.
