Film: American Radical: The Trials of Norman Finkelstein

3/28/2010 2:00pm at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts

By David Ridgen & Nicolas Rossier
A probing documentary about American academic Norman Finkelstein. A devoted son of holocaust survivors, ardent critic of Israel and US Middle East policy, and author of five provocative books, including The Holocaust Industry, Finkelstein has been at the center of many intractable controversies. Called a lunatic and a self-hating Jew by some and an inspirational street-fighting revolutionary by others, Finkelstein is a deeply polarizing figure whose struggles arise from core questions about freedom, identity, and nationhood.
