Manufacturing Consent
A nice introduction to Chomsky. Also some great footage (including Chomsky facing off with Michel Foucault!)
- Manufacturing Dissent: A Critical Study Of Michael Moore’s Films
- BBC Horizon Documentary, Human Version 2.0
- The Clash Of Two Great Minds: Norman Mailer And Marshall McLuhan Debate, 1968 ** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
- The Shock Doctrine, A Short Film By Alfonso Cuarón (Director Of “Children Of Men”) and Naomi Klein (Author Of “NoLogo”), Directed By Jonás Cuarón
- In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood & Bioterrorism, Doctor Len Horowitz ** THE MOST IMPORTANT FILM YOU’LL SEE THIS DECADE, POSSIBLY EVER
