Movie Reviews of Howard Zinn - You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train

Movie Review: you *can't* be neutral
Summary: 4 Stars

What an absurd idea it is to act and think as if you--whoever you are--are just some observer, some bystander to history. Your not even if media has helped cow you into feeling so. You are witness and participant to the times your living in. Of course mass media and schools do teach us we are apart of the story when it's convenient for power that we feel our agency as human beings (sign up for the army!). Zinn answers the old Irish saying, "Is this a private fight or can anyone join in?" that it's your fight too. YOU CAN'T BE NEUTRAL ON A MOVING TRAIN is an inspirational film on the life of a great American. I recommend it to anyone with an interest in politics and history and those without an interest because they should wake up. I would really prefer there be more critics--actually I don't think there are any, but that wasn't the point here. I guess we alrady know what they'd say anyway. We hear from them all the time.

Summary of Howard Zinn - You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train

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 of the landmark book 'A People's History of the United States', an eye-opening history from the perspective of the disenfranchised.

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. Narrated by Matt Damon; Featuring Music by Pearl Jam, Woody Guthrie & Billy Bragg.
