DESCRIPTION:Noam Chomsky, one of the world’s best-known scholars, public 
 intellectuals and political activists, describes 10 principles that have 
 led to today’s concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few in 
 the 2016 documentary Requiem for the American Dream.\n\nThe film will be 
 shown March 10 at 1:30 p.m. as part of the Second Saturday Documentary 
 Series at Niles Discovery Church, 36600 Niles Blvd. at the corner of 
 Nursery Avenue in Fremont. The screening is free and open to the 
 public.\n\nA linguist, cognitive scientist and social critic who recently 
 left his longtime position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to 
 join the University of Arizona, Chomsky has been a towering and 
 controversial figure for more than six decades and the recipient of 
 numerous awards. Requiem for the American Dream, directed by Peter 
 Hutchison, Kelly Nyks and Jared P. Scott, is based on conversations with 
 Chomsky recorded over the course of four years and later gathered into a 
 book of the same name.\n\nThe film and book lay out 10 principles of 
 concentration of wealth and power at work in America today, according to 
 Chomsky’s website:  Reduce democracy, shape ideology, redesign the 
 economy, shift the burden onto the poor and middle classes, attack the 
 solidarity of the people, let special interests run the regulators, 
 engineer election results, use fear and the power of the state to keep the 
 rabble in line, manufacture consent, marginalize the population.\n\nA 
 review in the New York Times calls the film “a timely 75-minute 
 teach-in” that “melds history, philosophy and ideology into a sobering 
 vision of a society in an accelerating decline.”\n\nThe film will be 
 followed by a discussion moderated by political economist Sharat Lin, 
 president of the San Jose Peace and Justice Center.\n\nThe Second Saturday 
 Documentary Series is co-sponsored by Niles Discovery Church and the San 
 Jose Peace and Justice 
 Center.\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/SecondSatDocSeries/\n
