Renowned linguist, intellectual, and activist Noam Chomsky shares his insights and thoughts on global issues such as the Iraq War, the events of September 11th, the War on Terror, media manipulation and control, social activism, fear, and American foreign policy. He does this through both large public forums and intimate discussions with fellow intellectuals, activists, fans, students, and critics. The film also features Dr. Carol Chomsky, Noam’s wife and manager, who provides her perspective on what motivates him and what life with him is like. Additionally, the film includes candid reflections from others about Chomsky’s ideas, work, and influence.
