Noam Chomsky: Rebel Without a Pause (2003) on Netflix

Plot summary

Noam Chomsky, who works as a linguist and is known as an intellectual and an activist, sets out his views on events around the world: September 11th, the war in Iraq, the war on terror, fear, social activism, how news is shaped and controlled, and how America acts toward other countries. He speaks before big audiences and in smaller back-and-forth exchanges with fellow intellectuals, campaigners, students, admirers and people who challenge him. Dr. Carol Chomsky, his wife and manager, appears between these moments and describes what drives him and what daily life with him is like. Others who know his thinking, his work and his influence add their own frank reflections on the man.
