Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media

Funny, provocative and surprisingly accessible,
MANUFACTURING CONSENT explores the political life and
ideas of Noam Chomsky, world-renowned linguist,
intellectual and political activist. In a dynamic
collage of new and original footage, biography,
archival gems, imaginative graphics and outrageous
illustrations, the film highlights Chomsky’s probing
analysis of mass media. A mammoth two-part project,
MANUFACTURING CONSENT is nonetheless light on its
feet, favoring a style that encourages viewers to
question its own workings, as Chomsky himself
encourages his listeners to extricate themselves from
the “web of deceit” by undertaking a course of
“intellectual self-defense.”
