Legendary linguist, activist and political dissident Noam Chomsky has been speaking out against American foreign intervention for decades—yet you won’t find him in the mainstream media. Filmed in the aftermath of 9/11, this prescient doc finds the controversial thinker at the height of his intellectual prowess as he shares razor-sharp insights into the United States's response to terrorism, and the future of its role in the world. Direct and uncompromising, his tidings nevertheless spark hope in our uncertain times. Inspired by Chomsky’s bestselling book of the same name, Power and Terror pays tribute to an iconoclast whose imperative to include moral integrity in global affairs remains as urgent and radical as ever.
