Matt Damon reads from Howard Zinn's 1970 speech "The Problem is Civil Obedience'. The extract of the text is just 5 minutes, but it packs in a lot of truth, truth that is even more relevant today than it was in 1970; truth that so many people around the world, and especially in the 'Western world' need to hear, take to heart and act upon.

The World for People who Think
I see many people posting this video of Matt Damon talking about "Civil Disobedience" with the impression that these are his words. They are not. He reads from Howard Zinn’s speech “The Problem is Civil Obedience”. That doesn't diminish the truth of the speech. It's a great one and good for him to speak out, but I think it's worth noting that Damon didn't write it and it's not "Matt Damon on Civil Disobedience" but "Howard Zinn on Disobedience read by Matt Damon".......just saying. ;-)
