June 8th at The A.J. Muste Institute, 339 Lafayette Street, New York, NY "Howard Zinn: You Can't Be Nuetral on a Moving Train" In Howard Zinn: You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train, filmmakers Deb Ellis and Denis Mueller buck the current trend of showy documentaries, adopting instead a classic, unassuming style perfectly suited to their subject. Zinn may be one of the few famous Americans alive who's better known for his work than his face. Zinn, who bears a passing resemblance to Gregory Peck, appears unfazed by his increasing popularity. Matt Damon narrates, mostly excerpts from Zinn's autobiography, with which the film shares its title. In a depiction otherwise straightforward and plain, Damon adds a patina of glamour.
