Howard Zinn - You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train (2004)



In this galvanizing documentary, professor Howard Zinn recounts his life as a writer, educator, and leader in nonviolent social protest. His story is one of being in "the right place at the right time," from poor beginnings, working in shipyard unions, fighting in WWII as a bomber pilot, and then launching his academic career as one of the first white professors to teach at the historically black Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. He helped spark the civil rights protest there, and soon moved to Boston College where he became a key figure in organizing anti-Vietnam protests. The historical span of the film concludes with Zinn protesting the war on Iraq. Known as the author of the best-selling A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, Zinn is a charismatic, well-spoken man whose devotion to telling the truth about America--and working to set things right--is inspiring. Viewers may come away from this film ready to grab a picket sign and head off to the nearest rally. The documentary captures a year in Zinn's life, including his winning of the 2003 Prix des Amis du Monde diplomatique. Testimonials from the likes of Alice Walker (a student of Zinn's at Spelman) and Noam Chomsky put his contributions to the peace and civil rights movements in a broader perspective. Matt Damon narrates and the score includes songs by Woody Guthrie, Billy Bragg, and Eddie Vedder.

Another that might be of interest if you haven't seen it already.
I can also recommend the 7 part "XXI Century" which has some interviews with Howard Zinn and many others.

Mr. Zinn -Occasional visitor to a coop house I occupied in Boston- digs of the B.U. Exposure...a student rag
which took the administration by the pants often. Late night dumpster diving prior to shredder popularity a Exposure specialty. Possibly responsible for thwarting the 'one-armed bandit' [aka University President John Silber]in a bid for national presidency.
Much admired pradigm thinker!

And, 'Power' being contageous, the same coop house, subsequent residents, featured Nate Thayer in his early years; too big on chaos for the Clamshell Alliance, later to achieve single-handedly the last interview with POL-POT! Yes, Bad Dokktor Zinn fever is catching! Praise BOB! Long Live Hakim Bey!
