You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train
Posted on July 01, 2004
You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train is a new documentary film from Deb Ellis and Denis Mueller on historian, teacher, activist and author of A People's History of the United States Howard Zinn, which is currently on my growing reading list. Due out July 23 in limited release it should work as a good one two punch following Fahrenheit 9/11.
The Boston Phoenex's Matt Ashare had this to say;
"Sure, Moore's film [F9/11] will get more attention. But along with a propitious confluence of current events, from the upcoming Democratic and Republican conventions to the ongoing revelations about the realities of the war in Iraq, Moore's film has raised the general level of political awareness. And that's exactly the kind of atmosphere Howard Zinn thrives in. It's almost as if he, Ellis, and Mueller had been planning this all along. Because if Fahrenheit 9/11 unveils the problem, then You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train offers the hope that there indeed are solutions."
Update: Here's the official site plus a trailer featuring a song by non other than Pearl Jam (Down from Lost Dogs).
