Manufacturing Consent was a life-changing event for me, so good luck. But suggesting the film will resemble "fog of war" seems odd since that was a confession by someone complicit in the tragedy under discussion. Frankly, i'd be happier with a sequel to Manufacturing Consent.

I find a Chomsky documentary on Kickstarter to be an interesting idea. Is this entirely what we should expect given his worldview, or a subtle case of irony?

To be clear here, I'm in no way involved with the documentary. I am however, an avid reader of books, and Chomsky is a major author in that collection.

Personally, I think the trailer is a bit of a glorification of Chomsky's social political criticism. And in that respect, this would fit perfectly. I just hope they leave out the melodrama in the documentary.

Definitely needs some work on the audio mix, I found the dialogue quite hard to hear over the cliché Requiem for a Dream-esque music.

I was confused by the title – "Kickstarter for Chomsky documentary" would be more accurate.

That makes me curious, what do you think it was? Chomsky talking about kickstarter?
