Howard Zinn in "You Can't be Neutral on a Moving Train"

Featuring rare archival materials and interviews with Howard Zinn and colleagues such as Noam Chomsky, this film captures the essence of this extraordinary man who has been a catalyst for progressive change for more than 60 years.

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.
