Today, I watched the excellent documentary You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train, and I highly recommended it to those have interest in the non official history of USA. This film is about the life of an extraordinary man, Howard Zinn. He was a historian, professor, and mainly an activist and author of several classics including "A Peoples History of the United States".
Directors: Deb Ellis, Denis Mueller.
“Perhaps the most important thing I learned was about democracy, that democracy is not our government, our constitution, our legal structure. Too often they are enemies of democracy.”
― Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train: A Personal History of Our Times
The conversation with Zinn and Chomsky that is in youtube is priceless too.
