![Noam Chomsky Trilogy
Bringing 3rd World Home and Manufacturing Consent (Tape 2 of 2)](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Edited version of soundtrack to Manufacturing Consent. Noam Chomsky speaks about the essential role of the common man in democracy. He draws attention to the ongoing agenda of the elite, using media as a tool, to exclude the common person from participating in the political process, thereby undermining democracy. He likens propaganda in democracy to violence in totalitarianism as controlling the actions of the masses. He points to East Timor as a dramatic example of media's active role in engendering apathy through ignorance to atrocities such as genocide. He speaks a bit about his childhood and political awakening. He suggests the large movements are made of a large collection of small groups and encourages people to engage in political discussions and educate themselves and each other within their communities.

Generations of American children sat in dark classrooms and absorbed wisdom in the form of 16 mm educational and social guidance films. Through the flicker of dim projector bulbs and the warble of optical soundtracks a blueprint for better living in the Atomic Age was spelled out in no uncertain terms. Now, just as you remember them, Fantoma presents this collection of patriotic films and Cold War classics. Some historical, some hysterical and a ll filled with more important misinformation than you can digest in just one viewing. Revel in the American way of life, get a glimpse of vintage Homeland Security and learn what you can do for your country in such films as Day Of Thanksgiving, Duck & Cover, Red Nightmare, You Can Change The World (with Jack Benny & Bob Hope) and Patriotism (featuring Bob Crane!). Includes 3 hours of digitally mastered shorts from original 16 mm prints; notes on each film by collection curator Skip Elsheimer of the A/V Geeks Educational Film Archive; Optional 'Classroom Experience' Dolby Digital soundtrack; and interactive bonus filmstrip.
