STARTS FRIDAY, MARCH 18 at the Loft Theater, 3233 E. Speedway Blvd. Tucson

“Requiem for the American Dream is the definitive discourse with Noam Chomsky, widely regarded as the most important intellectual alive, on the defining characteristic of our time – the deliberate concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a select few.

Through riveting and candid conversations filmed over four years, Chomsky unpacks the principles that have brought us to the crossroads of historically unprecedented inequality – tracing a half- century of policies designed to favor the most wealthy at the expense of the majority – while also looking back on his own life of activism and political participation. Profoundly personal and thought provoking, Chomsky provides penetrating insight into what may well be the lasting legacy of our time – the death of the middle class, and swan song of functioning democracy. (Dir. by Peter D. Hutchison, Kelly Nyks & Jared P. Scott, 2015, USA, 73 mins., Not Rated)”
