In Requiem for the American Dream, his final long-form documentary interview, linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky exposes with searing clarity the forces and policies behind the coordinated campaign to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a select few. Articulating ten fundamental principles that perpetuate this vicious cycle, Chomsky provides penetrating insight into the demise of democracy and erosion of opportunity that are likely to be the lasting hallmarks of our time.

“[Chomsky] melds history, philosophy and ideology into a sobering vision of a society in an accelerating decline… this well-paced and cogent seminar spotlights a man who, now 87, seems at the height of his intellectual powers.”
— The New York Times

“The short, sharp, smart essay-film makes excellent use of Chomsky’s insights while serving as one of the best entry points to the discussion of inequality popularized by the Occupy movement and furthered with Thomas Piketty’s unlikely best-seller Capital in the Twenty-First Century.” — The Hollywood Reporter

“Chomsky, who has spent much of his career analyzing the impact of wealth inequality, is the ideal anchor for the film… Requiem for the American Dream is sure to pack a much-needed punch in America’s gut.” — Indiewire
