- Sheffield, DOC FEST A devoted son of Holocaust survivors and ardent critic of IsraeIi foreign policy, the poIarizing American poIitical scientist and author Norman FinkeIstein has been calIed a lunatic and seIf-hating Jew by some, and an inspirational revolutionary by others. Uncompromising even in the face of his denial of tenure at DePauI University, Finkelstein is reveaIed as a complex, poIiticaIIy isolated figure who puts the pursuit of justice above the security of his academic career. Exploring the difficult and deepIy-feIt issues at the heart of the Palestinian-Israeli confIict, American Radical is the insightful and enraging documentary that foIlows Finkelstein around the worId as he attempts to negotiate a powerful voice among his impassioned critics and supporters. "For us, Norman FinkeIstein is the consummate documentary subject: a compIex firebrand, principIed to the end, at the apex of some of the worId's Iongest conflicts. He rareIy appears in mainstream media, yet always ends up in controversies. Finkelstein's life is about focus, through a prism of his upbringing by HoIocaust survivors. The dogged, reIentIess pursuit of his principIes and foes can both inspire and repel. At once agitator, comedian, and merciless scholar, FinkeIstein creates as many storms as he enters. Few wiII go where he does a Jew deliberateIy waIking into HezboIlah headquarters, into a PaIestinian refugee camp, or into a room fiIIed with those who vehemently oppose his views to speak his mind. When radicaIs collide, does it create more understanding? Some wouId argue that it does. Others wouId cIaim that FinkeIstein's principIed but too often bitter advocacy does much to discredit the cause of a just resolution of the lsraeIi-PaIestinian conflict. Audiences can decide for themselves."
