TransitieCinema: "Requiem For The American Dream"

Do you remember Occupy? Did you vote in the referendum? Do you see any change? Does anything really change..? Why?

Next TransitieCinema (https://www.facebook.com/TransitieCinema/) will be about the definitive discourse with Noam Chomsky (https://www.facebook.com/Noam-Chomsky-294468630182/), widely regarded as the most important intellectual alive, on the defining characteristic of our time - the deliberate concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a select few.

Through interviews filmed over four years, Chomsky unpacks the principles that have brought us to the crossroads of historically unprecedented inequality - tracing a half century of policies designed to favor the most wealthy at the expense of the majority - while also looking back on his own life of activism and political participation.

In Requiem For The American Dream (https://www.facebook.com/events/705702196236519/?ref=1&action_history=null) Chomsky provides penetrating insight into what may well be the lasting legacy of our time - the death of the middle class, and swan song of functioning democracy. A potent reminder that power ultimately rests in the hands of the governed, REQUIEM is required viewing for all who maintain hope in a shared stake in the future.
