CHOMSKY DOCUMENTARY AVAILABLE ON VIDEO

On November 15, more than two years after its theatrical launch, 
the internationally acclaimed documentary film MANUFACTURING 
CONSENT:  NOAM CHOMSKY AND THE MEDIA by Mark Achbar and Peter 
Wintonick will be released on home video in the United 
States.

Manufacturing Consent can be ordered in the U.S. by calling 
1 800 MANU CON. In Canada call 1 800 668-6322. 

A companion book to the film which includes a complete transcript 
of the film, key excerpts from Chomsky's writings and interviews, 
historical and biographical material, filmmakers notes, a 
resource guide and more than 270 stills can be obtained by 
calling (212) 564-3730 in the U.S. Please call 1 800 656-9523 
in Canada.

Funny, provocative and surprisingly accessible, MANUFACTURING CONSENT 
explores the political life and ideas of Noam Chomsky, world-renowned 
linguist, philosopher and activist. In an energetic collage of 
new and original footage, archival gems, imaginative graphics 
and illustrations, the film highlights Chomsky's incisive analysis 
of the media.

As a boy during the Depression Chomsky ran his uncle's newsstand 
in Manhattan. Today he is a fiercely outspoken critic and one of 
America's leading dissidents. Chomsky focuses on the theory and 
practice of propaganda in democratic societies where, he argues, 
populations are subjected to more subtle forms of ideological 
control. He reveals how mainstream news coverage of world events 
mobilizes public support for the "special interests" that dominate 
society through a process he calls the "manufacture of consent." 
Drawing on wide-ranging and persuasive examples, including a 
comparative study of the media coverage of Cambodia and East Timor 
in the mid-seventies, he shows us how information is "filtered" 
to serve the agendas of those with power. As protection against such 
manipulation, Chomsky encourages us to undertake a course 
of "intellectual self-defense" and to strive to make the media more 
democratic. He sketches out a vision of a new society where citizens 
will actively participate in social and political life.

While the film has been broadcast on numerous foreign networks, no 
U.S. broadcaster, including national and regional PBS, has agreed to 
televise the film. In Canada, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation 
only accepted to accommodate the film after an intense lobbying and 
letter-writing campaign. A similar campaign is now underway in the U.S.
