Noam Chomsky's propaganda model gets a full workup here, tracing how he moved from MIT linguistics to the country's most prominent critic of American media and foreign policy. Filmmakers Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick follow Chomsky across lecture halls, television studios, and a memorable stop in Bath where a heckler challenges him to his face, letting the confrontations do as much work as the argument itself. The film's centerpiece is Chomsky's account of the New York Times' coverage of Cambodia and East Timor, laid out side by side to show how atrocity gets amplified or buried depending on who commits it. Interviews with journalists, editors, and critics push back on his claims rather than simply illustrating them, and the filmmakers include enough of Chomsky's academic side, including his famous linguistics debate with the press, to complicate the portrait of him as a one-note dissident. Archival news footage anchors every claim to a specific broadcast or headline rather than abstraction. It remains the clearest filmed introduction to how he thinks institutions filter what counts as news.
