Merchants Of Doubt
AroView: The director of FOOD INC. takes on corporate titans once again, here exposing their duplicitous agenda to mislead consumers on climate change using public relations tactics employed by the tobacco and chemical industries in the 1970s.
Presaging the Trump era, before the term “alternative facts” entered the political lexicon, this important film identifies a cultural chasm between those informed and motivated by scientific facts and those who seek to debunk those facts for startling reasons grounded in ideology and self-interest. Inspired by the book of the same name by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway.
“An issues documentary that scores its points through a seductive combination of clearly stated arguments and pithy humor.” ~Elise Nakhnikian, Slant Magazine
