Requiem for the American Dream Page #8

Synopsis: REQUIEM FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM is the definitive discourse with Noam Chomsky, on the defining characteristic of our time - the deliberate concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a select few. Through interviews filmed over four years, Chomsky unpacks the principles that have brought us to the crossroads of historically unprecedented inequality - tracing a half century of policies designed to favor the most wealthy at the expense of the majority - while also looking back on his own life of activism and political participation. Profoundly personal and thought provoking, Chomsky provides penetrating insight into what may well be the lasting legacy of our time - the death of the middle class, and swan song of functioning democracy. A potent reminder that power ultimately rests in the hands of the governed, REQUIEM is required viewing for all who maintain hope in a shared stake in the future.

It is a very free society,

still the freest in the world.

Government has very

limited capacity to coerce.

Corporate business may try

to coerce, but they don't

have the mechanisms.

So, there's a lot that can be

done if people organize,

struggle for their rights

as they've done in the past,

and can win many victories.

Well, my close friend

for many years,

the late Howard Zinn...

To put it in his words that,

"what matters is the countless

small deeds of unknown people,

who lay the basis

for the significant events

that enter history."

They're the ones who've

done things in the past.

They're the ones who'll

have to do it in the future.
