Best Canadian Feature Film, Special Jury Citation, TIFF 1992

Philosopher and political activist Noam Chomsky presents his theory of manufactured consent, breaking down how mass media controlled by corporations undermines democracy, prioritizing personal agenda over public information. Accessible and surprisingly funny, this multi-award-winning documentary is well worth a re-watch in the age of ‘fake news.’
