ABOUT THE FILM: In these turbulent times, Howard Zinn is inspiring a new generation. This acclaimed film looks at the amazing life of the renowned historian, activist and author. Following his early days as a shipyard labor organizer and bombardier in World War II, Zinn became an academic rebel and leader of civil disobedience in a time of institutionalized racism and war. His influential writings shine light on and bring voice to factory workers, immigrant laborers, African Americans, Native Americans and the working poor.

Featuring rare archival materials and interviews with Zinn and colleagues such as Noam Chomsky, You Can't Be Neutral captures the essence of this extraordinary man who has been a catalyst for progressive change for more than 60 years.

For the people by the people. We have the right to object. We have a right to be patriotic but not nationalistic. To be dissenters but not good Nazis. War is for corporations and politicians. For the people by the people not for the rich by the rich.

Civil Disobedience for all, independent of convictions, political and religious views!

This is pacifism! Not the mindless cop-loving, prison-industrial-complex loving, authoritarian, counter-revolutionary snitches that flood the left in the US.

Smash the state.

it is completely unresponsible to support a world system that will toruture, murder, brain wash, economically deprive, our grandchildren and their children. our sense of future needs to expand beyond our own generation.

Today is D17, the 3 month anniversary of the Occupy movement. Please think of me and my friends as I face arrest today for participating in civil disobedience.

peaceful protest historically only works when those being protested are scared of violence

i think someone needs to show them what the potential is when they attack us

but nothing will happen, people will just sit in a circle and get pepper sprayed while their 84 year old grandmothers priests and pregnant are abused

fuckin hippies, everyone is scared to stand up, god i wish this nation still had balls

i wish it will still land of the free HOME OF THE BRAVE!

He forgot to mention getting smacked around the head while you sit there and do fuck all but whine. How's that workin' for ya? Have things improved since all this shit was taken onboard? Can you say 'Police State' U.S.A.?And any fuckhead who blurts Ghandi should educate themselves... it's gotta suck being a meme-on-legs that's wrong. :)

We need to change our system in order to prevent our economy from collapsing. I came here today in search of anyone who will hear my message. The FED have complete control over our money and they have no government agency to regulate them, which means they could do whatever they won't. Please support me to take down the FED, visit my channel, there's a petition that needs your name on it!
