Runtime
73 min
BiographyDocumentaryNews

Synopsis

Over the course of four years, Noam Chomsky offers analysis through a series of filmed interviews, exploring the principles that have led to a crossroads marked by historically unprecedented levels of inequality. He examines the half-century of policies that have favored the wealthiest at the expense of the majority, while also reflecting on his own history of activism and political engagement. Chomsky provides in-depth insight into what may become the defining legacy of the current era—the decline of the middle class and the erosion of functional democracy.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
