Brothers and Others [DVD]

American linguist, philosopher, political activist, author, and lecturer Noam Chomsky draws on his skills as both an analyst and a humorist to reflect on the motivations of the terrorists who attacked America on September 11, 2001 and explore the consequences of that violent transgression on the international system. After defining the concept of terrorism within its historical context, Chomsky offers his opinions on how we may fight it while forgoing the politics of power. Additional reflections on the media's role in the War on Terror, as well as racism directed at Arabs and Muslims, offer hearty food for thought to those who believe that our approach to battling terrorism is fundamentally flawed~Jason Buchanan
