REQUIEM FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM (Theatrical Release USA 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

Requiem for the American Dream—documentary about Noam Chomsky’s ideas on economy, government’s interaction with people, and development of this nation—seeds diverse thoughts on a variety of subjects that lead to the thought that America is at the brink of great change. A complex documentary, that contains outstanding archival footage phenomenally placed to support the story, may require a good study into Chomsky’s life activities in order to understand where he is going with his initial assumptions. The camerawork is exceptionally professional in catching angles that give Mr. Chomsky unique settings in which to deliver his message.
