    I just finished reading "A People's History of the United States", and saw this was a Watch It Now feature, so thought I'd give it a whirl. Like most documentaries about complex people and issues, this is really more of a jumping-off point for those interested in learning more about Zinn and his work. I'm guessing for those already familiar with Zinn it probably covers a lot of the same ground one already knows. I'm right in the middle, so this has sparked more interest in reading more of his books. If nothing else, he's an engaging speaker and interviewee, so it's worth it just to hear him outside of the written page.

    Ellis and Mueller's profile of the political awakening of the U.S's greatest historian manages to both inform and inspire.

    This story, his short political biography, inspires me to be more active in my life. I used to be a history major, but now out of college, I have not studied it at all. Feels like losing a part of my soul, or dystrophy of muscle; hopefully I can get it back by reading more and listening to great persons like him.
