Premiere of movie about media critic
     The Department of Communication, the Campus Coalition for Human Rights
and Pacem in Terris will sponsor a free, single showing of Manufacturing
Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, a documentary about the M.I.T.
linguistics professor who is an outspoken social and media critic. The film
will be presented at 7 p.m., Monday, May 10, in 140 Smith Hall.
     The film consists of two parts: Part 1, Thought Control in a
Democratic Society runs for 95 minutes, and Activating Dissent lasts for 70
minutes.
     Highlighting Chomsky's analysis of the media, the film focuses on
democratic societies where populations not disciplined by force are
subjected to more subtle forms of ideological control.
     Examples of media deception permeate Chomsky's critique of the forces
at work behind the daily news. Released in late 1992, it was directed by
Canadians Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick.
