DVD-HZ
The life and times of historian, activist and author of the best-selling classic "A People's History of the United States."
A film by Deb Ellis and Denis Mueller, Narrated by Mat Damon.
In these turbulent times, Howard Zinn is inspiring a new generation. Following his early days as a shipyard labor organizer and bombadier in World War II, Zinn became an academic rebel and leader of civil disobedience in a time of institutionalized racism and war. His influential writings shine light on and bring voice to factory workers, immigrant laborers, African Americans, Native Americans and the working poor.
Featuring rare archival materials and interviews with Zinn and colleagues such as Noam Chomsky, Marian Wright Edelman, Alice Walker, Tom Hayden, Daniel Ellsberg, and others this documentary captures the essence of this extraordinary man who has been a catalyst for progressive change for more than 60 years. As Chomsky said, Zinn is a "model and inspiration for those who seek justice and peace. His contributions are truly incomparable."
[The film] "Allows (Zinn's) significance to register and his charisma to shine." - Jonathan Rosenbau, Chicago Reader
