| In
these turbulent times, Howard Zinn is inspiring a
new generation. This acclaimed film looks at the amazing
life of the renowned historian, activist and author.
Following
his early days as a shipyard labor organizer and bombardier
in World War II, Zinn became an academic rebel and
leader of civil disobedience in a time of institutionalized
racism and war. His influential writings shine light
on and bring voice to factory workers, immigrant laborers,
African Americans, Native Americans and the working
poor.
Featuring
rare archival materials and interviews with Zinn and
colleagues such as Noam Chomsky, You Can't Be Neutral
captures the essence of this extraordinary man who
has been a catalyst for progressive change for more
than 60 years. As Chomsky said, Zinn is "a model
and inspiration for those who seek justice and peace.
His contributions are truly incomparable."
