    Highly fascinating!!
  • February 8, 2008
    Chomsky is very engaging yet it takes a keen mind to keep up with what he's saying. A view of the media which is more common now than when Chomsky was first saying it.

  • August 28, 2008
    Every American should watch this by the time they are 18 and should watch it over again until they truly understand it.

    Not interested in watching

    Am I supposed to know who the hell Noam Chomsky is? Why is he getting a documentary about him? Did he kill someone or eat 2,000 McDonald's hamburgers?
  • January 17, 2008
    Achbar and Wintonick profile Chomsky and outline his ideas in an exhaustive and sometimes exhausting documentary that is a perfect intro to this icon.
