What are giant filmmakers and many more saying about "American Radical."
"American Radical is a powerful film brave, bold, incendiary. I highly recommend it!"

MICHAEL MOORE, an awardwinning filmmaker


"A fascinating, wellrounded portrait of Finkelstein that simultaneously informs, inspires, and infuriates...the filmmakers ride a delicate line, assembling a wartsandall portrait that shows why Finkelstein is deeply respected and equally reviled."

MARK ACHBAR, awardwinning director of The Corporation and Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media


"Surprisingly entertaining...a compelling portrait of a difficult man."

MARK COHEN, The Jewish Daily Forward


"...one of the most talkedabout documentaries of the last months, a fascinating portrait that confidently walks that tightrope known as balance."

The Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival


"American Radical is a nuanced and powerful portrait of the scholar Norman Finkelstein, one of the nation's most courageous and embattled intellectuals. It is a reminder that mendacity and timidity, when in service of conventional beliefs, are more highly prized in most universities than truth. It illustrates that those who unmask the lies of the intellectual elite swiftly become their victims. The power and subtext of this film, however, are not in the wars fought between Finkelstein and those like Alan Dershowitz who seek to destroy him, but in Finkelstein's powerful fealty to his mother's suffering in the Warsaw Ghetto and later the Nazi death camps. Finkelstein sees in all who are oppressed by his mother's degradation and pain. This is a movie that is, at its core, about the unshakable bond of love between a parent and a true and faithful son who refuses to forget or compromise."

CHRIS HEDGES, former New York Times MidEast correspondent, author of War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning


"The filmmakers present a very balanced look at a somewhat unbalanced character. Finkelstein’s polarizing politics will inflame some viewers, validate others, and intrigue everyone."

JUDY MARX, The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival
