ABOUT THE FILM: In these turbulent times, Howard Zinn is inspiring a new generation. This acclaimed film looks at the amazing life of the renowned historian, activist and author. Following his early days as a shipyard labor organizer and bombardier 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, You Can't Be Neutral captures the essence of this extraordinary man who has been a catalyst for progressive change for more than 60 years.

Comment by Mitsos on July 6, 2009 at 2:08pm: 80% of DramaTubers aren't interested in politics. From the remaining 20% 15 are for the status quo. Meaning they are for the super rich getting filthy richer even if it bankrupts the country in the end what it will. Lucky you, you don't live in the USA. I remember from 2 years ago that Germany was selling more expensive German big cars to China then the USA. In 8 years time they won't need the US no more. I expect the Dollar to crush and I expect that the US will follow the fate of the former Soviet Union.
Don't worry. You are relatively save living now in Germany. Let the fools laugh now. I know who is giving me one star. The same people like before.

Well, regardless of your "unpopularity" here at DT, I feel the content provided in this video deserves 's... and I for one enjoy much of Howard Zinn's political and social ideology.... I mean, I can't for the life of me understand why anyone wouldn't at least partly agree with Zinn.

Comment by Mitsos on July 5, 2009 at 3:09pm: I wonder why there are always some white Americans protesting against the illegal war of their government killing millions of brown or yellow people? Then they complain about police violence when the police beats them up.
It's about freedom people. Freedom to kill millions of people and beat peace activist's up.
Those people have rights too. Your right is to shut up and obey. Yes you can say your opinion, if it's mainstream.
