Abstract:

Documentary biography by Peter Wintonick and Mark Achbar, compares media coverage of East Timor and Cambodia. Considered as "one of the most important documentaries ever made" MANUFACTURING CONSENT is as relevant today as it was when it first was released in the early 'nineties, maybe even more important. Funny, provocative and surprisingly accessible, Manufacturing Consent is an energetic fusion of images and ideas which explores the political life and ideas of the controversial American writer, linguist and social philosopher, Noam Chomsky, the author the N.Y. Times has called "arguably the most important intellectual alive."
