To rate this is kind of pointless as it is just a camera pointed at a lecture at an American university where Noam Chomsky asks us who's doing the real terrorism. For its content its dynamite, that its been made available on DVD is highly praiseable. Not that I think others than those already familiar with Chomsky would have a look at it, but if they did I cant see how they could fail to see how horribly wrong the American foreign (in this case) politics are and have been since Truman dropped the A, through to the bleak Reagan period of the eighties, the Bushes and also Bill Clinton who was no angel at all. Its not fun to learn this, but there is time to be serious and time to relax. Now the time to do something is highly overdue.

Noam Chomsky is that dry, factual, intellectual that you probably fell asleep listening to in your college classes. However, if you even begin to listen to what he is saying, you'll suddenly become angry, scared or saddened and be drawn to listen further. Unless you're thoroughly familiar with US foreign actions for the last 20 years you'll wonder how he can possibly be telling the truth half the time. However with his constant encouragement to check sources and research exactly what he's saying he'd have to be absolutely crazy to be lying about what he's saying. The US hypocrisy toward terrorism becomes obvious and you are simply left wondering why the media isn't reporting it... Now you'll have to go watch another Chomsky film called Manufacturing Consent to understand why the media are so complacent in this hypocrisy. The media has only gotten worse since that film was made (1992), so may want to check out Orwell Rolls in His Grave for a more recent treatise of the media's faults. If only half the people knew half the information Chomsky could impart to them in half an hour, the outrage would force a great positive change in the world.
