Noam Chomsky: Rebel Without A Pause, Part 1

Rock star Bono of U2 has called American political activist Noam Chomsky “a rebel without a pause, the
Elvis of academia.” At 74, this soft-spoken professor of linguistics remains one of the world’s
leading voices of dissent. The controversial author of more than two dozen books about the use and
abuse of power, including the bestseller 9-11, he draws capacity crowds to his lecturers wherever he
travels. This documentary, which follows Chomsky on a recent visit to Hamilton, Ont., explores his
views on such timely issues as terrorism and the war on Iraq, and offers insight into the source of
his widespread appeal.
