Requiem For The American Dream

With one of the greatest thinkers of our age, Noam Chomsky, to shepherd us, Requiem for the American Dream examines the reasons behind the ever-widening income gap. Chomsky lays bare this harsh reality with such a clear and simple narrative that one can’t help but marvel at how things came to this.

Fleshed out with the pages of history, the documentary powerfully exposes how economic interest groups influence the government and the legislative process in the USA. It is a peerless guide to understanding how the American Dream hyped by Hollywood to the rest of the world for so long turned into a nightmare. The democracy of, and test of government facing the superpower of world politics are at the same time a mirror held up to the rest of the world.
