Polis Is This is a film that follows the life of the poet Charles Olson. Filmmaker Henry Ferrini uses archival footage of Olson, as well as an array of interview subjects, including actor John Malkovich, to paint a picture of Olson and his life. Throughout the course of the film, Olson struggles to save Gloucester, Massachusetts, his home town, from progress, which in his opinion was taking away the town's very essence. Henry Ferrini is a native of Gloucester himself, and feels the way Olson does about the issues of progress. Polis is This encourages viewers to appreciate where they come from and educates them about the extraordinary possibilities that exist in the ordinary things that exist around them in their daily lives.

Partant du point de vue de Noam Chomsky, célèbre linguiste, sur les médias, et s'appuyant sur ses réflexions réunies dans ses deux récents ouvrages "Illusions nécessaires" et "la Fabrication du consentement", ce film se penche surtout sur les sociétés démocratiques dont les populations non contraintes par la force sont soumises à des formes plus subtiles d'oppression idéologique. Il examine le pouvoir de l'information et les forces qui, dans la société, s'exercent sur sa formulation et sa propagation.

Film, documentaire, livre...: l'aventure tragique du jeune Christopher McCandless pose d'inévitables interrogations. Distinguons le vrai du faux. Son nom est Christopher McCandless. Son histoire, à travers le film Into the Wild, a largement été popularisée. Car le natif de Virginie reste l'exemple même de l'aventurier qui a tout plaqué pour vivre son rêve. Qui a embrassé la liberté, non pas du bout des lèvres, mais à pleine bouche. Qui s'est affirmé comme une exception ayant réussi à s'extirper du capitalisme triomphant et de l'existence stéréotypée qui lui tendait les bras.
