    The encyclopedic Chomsky speaks truth to people on the lecture circuit in the aftermath of 9-11 in Junkerman's minimalist Japanese documentary.

    The title sounds so impressive, like a powerful essay. The film however, is crap. It's as if someone took footage of a few Chomsky speeches, used his Mac to stitch it all into a long montage and threw some music on the soundtrack. You'd be better off going to Youtube and typing Chomsky in the search engine. Chomsky's speeches themself are intelligent and powerful as always, but this film is too poorly made to do him any justice.
    Watch Manufacturing Consent instead, now THAT is good.

    While I have never much agreed with linguist Noam Chomsky's assertion that only humans have the innate ability for language, I have long been a fan of his politics. He is a steadfast force in the fight for the rights of all citizens. This piece is a collection of speeches and interviews he has delievered or granted on the topics of media, power, and terror.
