IN THIS SCENE: Dr. Howard Zinn discusses his experience as an Air Force bombadier in WWII. Near the end of the war Zinn is asked to bomb a small town in France that has a lasting impression on him. . .

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.

Narrated by Matt Damon. Featuring music by Pearl Jam, Woody Guthrie & Billy Bragg!

  • what is winning a war?annihilating the other side? what have you gained then when you have destroyed a country/a people/ a race?

    all the "winning side" can prove is their lack of humanity.

    all i can do is hope one day we come to the conclusion that there must be a better way to deal with world problems than war destruction and death.

    most ppl commenting here have never been close to a war (i know i havent) and so i praise zinn for being so open about his experiences as a soldier

  • A true hero, because he taught us, reminded us, that we all can be heroes.

see all

  • @johnmacward early lenin was a cool worker-management guy. I would like to remember him that way

  • The smell of napalm in the morning ! Reminds me of breakfast in Nam !

  • "When two tribes go to war, one is all that you can score" -- Frankie Goes To Hollywood

    It's totally a zero-sum game. Always will be.

  • The bomb that annihilated Nagasaki killed American POWs and Catholic Nuns as well as all the men,women & children at or near GZ. Go to GZCenter.org to find out how you can fight nuclear weapons that will kill indiscriminately and will return radiation to whomever launches, thru global wind patterns, on there own populations. Like Fukashima that poisons PNW of America as well as No. tier states & Europe we are lied to about amounts of radiation being distributed on our planet. Govs. lie, cheers 

  • The bastards wanted to test their Napalm, I bet.

    Probably sent teams in to check on the bodies.

  • AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET US FREE

  • @DJpopel Agreed.

  • Well said.
