Dirs. Mark Achbar / Peter Wintonick Canada 1992 (16mm)
"Funny, provocative and surprisingly accessible, Manufacturing Consent explores the political life and ideas of Noam Chomsky, the world renowned linguist, intellectual and political activist. The film highlights Chomsky's probing analysis of mass-media in a two part project that took four years to make. Part 1 focuses on the theory and practice of thought control in democratic societies. In Part 2, Activating Dissent, he posits that we must undertake a 'course of intellectual self-defense' to give meaning back to the democratic process."-Toronto Film Fest (165m; with intermission)
