REPRINTED IN 2017 FOR THE 25th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FILM
Manufacturing Consent, the companion book to the award-winning film, charts the life of America's most famous dissident, from his boyhood days running his uncle's newsstand in Manhattan to his current role as outspoken social critic.
A complete transcript of the film is complemented by key excerpts from the writings, interviews and correspondence. Also included are exchanges between Chomsky and his critics, historical and biographical material, filmmakers' notes, a resource guide, and more than 270 stills from the film. The original edition contained 18 "Philosopher All-Stars" Trading Cards! Sadly, these are no longer included or available.
Mark Achbar has applied a wide range of creative abilities and technical skills to over 50 films, videos, and books. He has worked as editor, researcher and production coordinator.
