Requiem for the American Dream

2015·Movie·73 min·7.7(201)

Noam Chomsky and the PRINCIPLES of CONCENTRATION of WEALTH & POWER

Through interviews filmed over four years, Noam 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. He 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.
