I Am (Not) a Monster

Roger Berkowitz

In “I am (Not) a Monster,” a new movie by Dr. Nelly Ben Hayoun, Dr. Hayoun travels around the world dressed as Hannah Arendt to ask thinkers and activists about the origins of knowledge. Ben Hayoun, a Senior Fellow at the Hannah Arendt Center and the founder of the University of the Underground, begins with Arendt’s idea that “To act is to begin something new.” The effort is to unravel the mystery of the politics of our time and also to ask after the thinking of Hannah Arendt. “I Am (Not) A Monster” is now available to rent on Vimeo here. The Movie features among many others, Noam Chomsky, Richard Bernstein, Arjun Appadurai, Leon Botstein, and Roger Berkowitz.
