Requiem for the American Dream (2015)


Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Peter Hutchison, Kelly Nyks, Jared P. Scott
Cast: Noam Chomsky
Time: 73 minutes



In this documentary film, academic and activist Noam Chomsky discourses on the concentration of wealth and power in America and on the financial inequality it creates.

Quite honestly, while the subject matter itself is an interesting and important one, the presentation was so dry that this film lost me completely pretty fast. After 15 minutes, I realized I was not paying attention anymore. This is a very static documentary, with only one point of view. Had I not gone in blind, I probably would have skipped this one. Some might like it, but it is not my thing.
