Manufacturing Consent

Synopsis

Noam Chomsky is one of the United States' leading intellectuals, a hugely influential philosopher, linguist, political activist and author, who has constantly questioned the status quo. This eye-opening documentary follows Chomsky around the globe as he lectures, campaigns and criticises, and throughout, he expounds his theory that corporate media - with specific reference to the New York Times - and governments are in collusion to influence the way people think and behave.
