}}Howard Zinn: You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train is a 2004 documentary film narrated by Matt Damon about the life and times of historian, activist and author Howard Zinn and his involvement in some of the most important social movements of the past fifty years. The film was directed by Deb Ellis and Denis Mueller. The film boasts a 97% fresh rating by critics on Rotten Tomatoes.[1]

Between June and December, 2004 the film had a nationwide theatrical release, playing in over 50 cities across the country. In November 2004 the film was “short-listed” for an Academy Award, and in 2005 the film was released on DVD.

In 2008, the film was chosen by the Zinn Education Project (a collaboration of two national organizations, Rethinking Schools and Teaching for Change) to be included in an education package sent to 4000 high school and junior high school teachers across the country.

In 2010, a new Commemorative DVD with an extra hour of bonus materials was released by First Run Features.

  • “A concise primer that should well satisfy those with a casual interest in his career.” Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter.
  • “A thinker and an educator, Zinn has led a life of commitment and compassion and the film offers a loving tribute.” Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
  • “Finally, a documentary about one of America’s most important academics.” Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle

As a teacher, I’m not interested in just reproducing class after class of graduates who will get out, become successful, and take their obedient places in the slots that society has prepared for them. What me must do – whether we teach or write or make films. – is educate a new generation to do this very modest thing: change the world. Zinn, Howard. "Stories Hollywood Never Tells." The Sun #343 (July 2004): 12-15.
