Noam Chomsky - ’Requiem For The American Dream’ Trailer
Noam Chomsky is one of America’s most important thinkers, critical minds, and voices of dissent, and thus it’s hardly a surprise that his gripping ideas have been the subject of more than one documentary. 1992’s “Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media“ might be the most well known, and Michel Gondry’s “Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?“ the quirkiest, but the upcoming “Requiem For The American Dream“ — slated to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival — might be the most relevant given social and economic landscape of the moment.
Directed by Peter Hutchison, Kelly Nyks, and Jared P. Scott, the film is constructed from four years worth of interviews with Chomsky, and explores the growing inequality in the country and what that means for stability, democracy, and more. Here’s the official synopsis:
In his final long-form documentary interview - 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, Chomsky lays bare the costly debris left in its wake: the evisceration of the American worker, disappearance of the living wage, collapse of the dream of home ownership, skyrocketing higher education costs placing betterment beyond reach or shackling students to suffocating debt, and a loss of solidarity that has left us divided against ourselves.
Profoundly personal and thought provoking, REQUIEM is a potent reminder that power ultimately rests in the hands of the governed - and is required viewing for all who maintain hope in a shared stake in the future.
“Requiem For The American Dream“ has its first screening at Tribeca on Saturday, April 18th.
