This documentary is as vital now as it was when it was made. In it, intellectual Noam Chomsky explains how the government, media, and corporate interests spin propaganda to manipulate opinions of the minions. Thought control and emotionally potent oversimplification are used to keep "the ordinary person" on course, and it works.
In this three hour film, Chomsky shares some of his early life experience in trying to defend a kid against bullying and builds from there. Also, opposing thought to Chomsky's views are presented in a way that fills in the history of the government. Noam encourages us to question everything we are fed and to find alternative news sources.
"Propaganda is to Democracy what violence is to a dictatorship."
"We live entangled in a web of deciet... where highly indoctrinated truths are easily buried."
"Democracy is a game for the elites, it's not for the ignorant masses who have to be marginalized, diverted, and controlled."
I highly recommend this film.
