Requiem for the American Dream brilliantly exposes how the short-term interests of corporate elites have driven massive levels of income inequality over the past few decades, laid waste to basic democratic values, and endangered the welfare of huge swaths of the American population. Combining Noam Chomsky’s rare explanatory powers with breathtaking footage, Requiem for the American Dream is at once a remarkable piece of cinema and an extraordinary teaching tool — especially at a time when the costs and consequences of widening economic inequality are being exposed like never before.
