American Radical

This is the probing, definitive documentary about the controversial American academic Norman Finkelstein. A devoted son of holocaust survivors and ardent critic of Israel and US Middle-Eastern policy, Finkelstein has been steadfast at the centre of many political battles. His unapologetic engagement of sensitive subject matters have led to his denial of tenure at DePaul University.

From Beirut to Kyoto, American Radical: The Trials of Norman Finkelstein follows the incendiary character across the globe as he attempts to negotiate among both his supporters and critics, providing an intimate portrait of the man behind the controversy.
