| Power and Terror:Noam Chomsky In Our Times |
Dir. John Junkerman US 2002
Noam Chomsky's voice may be controversial, but his incisive arguments, based on decades of research and analysis, deserve to be heard and considered. Power and Terror presents the latest in Chomsky's thinking, through a lengthy interview and a series of public talks that he gave in New York and California during the spring of 2002. As he has done countless times since 9/11, Chomsky places the terrorist attacks in the context of American foreign intervention throughout the postwar decades -- in Vietnam, Central America, the Middle East and elsewhere. Beginning with the fundamental principal that the exercise of violence against civilian populations is terror, regardless of whether the perpetrator is a well-organized band of Muslim extremists or the most powerful state in the world, Chomsky - in stark and uncompromising terms - challenges the United States to apply to its own actions the moral standards it holds others to.
