Funny, provocative and surprisingly accessible,
MANUFACTURING CONSENT explores the political life and ideas of Noam
Chomsky, world-renowned linguist, intellectual and political activist.
In a dynamic collage of new and original footage, biography, archival
gems, imaginative graphics and outrageous illustrations, the film
highlights Chomsky's probing analysis of mass media. A mammoth two-part
project, MANUFACTURING CONSENT is nonetheless light on its feet,
favoring a style that encourages viewers to question its own workings,
as Chomsky himself encourages his listeners to extricate themselves
from the "web of deceit" by undertaking a course of "intellectual
self-defense." The two-disc 15th anniversary edition
of this revolutionary film is accompanied by a rich selection of
special features.
