This documentary, focusing on intellectual Noam Chomsky and his post 9-11 political views, presents a personal interview along with snippets from lectures he delivered around the country in 2001 and 2002. Known more for his stance as a political theorist and charismatic speaker than his work as an M.I.T. linguist, Chomsky is revered by academics, intellectuals, and leftist thinkers from all camps. His straightforward, nonchalant, and always calm and collected manner of expressing himself comes as a soothing relief to people seeking an alternative political voice. Here, Chomsky delves into topics as complex as the War on Terror and the question of why the terrorists hate us, offering new perspective than that of the mainstream media. With little hesitation, he refers to instances in history where the U.S. has supported terrorist regimes by supplying weapons and turning a blind eye, arguing that the U.S. is itself a terrorist state and thus cannot realistically declare a War on Terror. In addition, he notes that while 9-11 marked an atrocious and terrible loss, it was only unique in terms of its victims (Americans), siting equally ferocious attacks on less visible nations. An eye-opening film that attempts to portray truth, and encourages debate, asserting the ability of the American people to work for change within the democratic system, POWER AND TERROR: NOAM CHOMSKY IN OUR TIMES is directed by John Junkerman and produced by Tetsujiro Yamagami.

THE CORPORATION is a well-organized and deeply fascinating documentary about the growing prominence of large global businesses, and the way that their decisions are impacting the world. The film shows how corporations have ballooned in size and power since the industrial revolution, and explains the laws and loopholes that allow them to remain nearly unaccountable for their actions. If they break a law, they are willing to admit guilt and pay the fine, because the profits outweigh the penalties. Therefore, they continue to cause serious environmental problems by dumping waste into rivers and oceans and by depleting natural resources, resulting in irreversible damage to the earth which also poses a serious threat to human life. Beyond environmental issues, the film shows how corporations exploit underpaid laborers in third world countries, violate basic human rights, make deals with foreign countries who are known enemies of the US, and in some instances perpetuate fascist regimes. Valuable, informative talking-head commentary comes from a diverse group including Ray Anderson, CEO of carpet manufacturer Interface; Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, former chairman of Royal Dutch Shell; Dr. Vandana Shiva, feminist and ecologist; Milton Friedman, Nobel prize-winning economist; Marc Barry, corporate spy; Joe Badaracco, professor of business ethics at Harvard; and activists Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and Michael Moore. Providing useful references to major news stories that illustrate various corporate developments, and good information about how the system works, THE CORPORATION empowers viewers and shows them that they can realistically enact change. For that reason, this documentary makes real progress, encouraging viewers to take the world's future into their own hands and away from corporations whose sole interest is profit.
