Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media

The biographical drama explores the life and work of a renowned American linguist and political critic, who sounded the alarm about the insidious influence of corporate media in shaping public opinion and perpetuating propaganda in modern society.

The film highlights Noam Chomsky, a renowned linguist and political critic, as he exposes the collaboration between government and media to create a propaganda machine that shapes public opinion. The documentary examines this phenomenon through the lens of two significant events: the widespread coverage of the Khmer Rouge's atrocities in Cambodia and the suppression of news about the US-backed Indonesian invasion of East Timor.
