Norman Finkelstein: American Radical
David Ridgen and Nicolas Rossier have directed and produced a film on have directed and produced a film on the controversial academic Norman Finkelstein.
The film is currently in extremely limited release in the US, with only a few screenings at the Chicago film festival.
I have not yet had the chance to see the film, but when I do I will do a full review on the main PoliticalLore.com site. So check back in the coming weeks for that review and also for updates on where you can see the film.
If you are not familiar with Norman Finkelstein he is a scholar on the Israel/Palestine conflict. He is an American Jew who has long been sympathetic with the Palestinian plight and has even been banned from Israel for vocalizing his views. He also was denied tenure at Depaul University in Chicago for voicing his critical views of the Israeli government’s military aggression.
This is sure to be an intriguing and polarizing film, but hopefully it will also be a catalyst for discussion on this extremely important topic.
If this film is playing near you in the coming months, and you are interested in the Israel/Palestine conflict I would urge you to go and support this film.
Here is a 10 minute preview of the film:
