American Radical: The Trials of Norman Finkelstein (2009)

Embarking on a fervent journey through the labyrinth of Middle Eastern politics, 'American Radical' traces the controversial trajectory of Norman Finkelstein, a zealous American political scientist and author, and the son of Holocaust survivors. The film captures the tempestuous world of Finkelstein, a man viewed as a radical revolutionary by some, and a self-loathing Jew by others. Exposing the intricate, volatile issues embedded in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this stirring documentary follows Finkelstein's globetrotting quest to carve a niche for his voice amidst fervent detractors and avid followers. Despite the sting of recent tenure denial at DePaul University, Finkelstein's uncompromising attitude remains undeterred, painting a portrait of a profoundly solitary figure, whose self-destructive tendencies often jeopardize his academic reputation. 'American Radical' is a compelling documentary that immerses viewers into the psychological and intellectual depths of a contentious personality, promising to ignite impassioned debates with its potent exploration.
