AMERICAN RADICAL is the probing, definitive documentary about American academic Norman Finkelstein. A devoted son of holocaust survivors, ardent critic of Israel and US Mid-East policy, and author of five provocative books including, The Holocaust Industry, Finkelstein has been steadfast at the center of many intractable controversies, including his recent denial of tenure at DePaul University.

Though Isidore’s life on the streets is arduous and, at times, sad, it is also filled with beauty, as the 80-year-old artist cherishes the reactions he receives from his audiences. Life is a Dream is a thought-provoking reflection on the state of the American dream through the eyes of a street artist who has for years transformed Central Park into his own kingdom.

Among many other topics, Chomsky also gives his personal perspectives on the role of the media in the war on terrorism, and personal views on racism against Arabs and Muslims since 9/11.
