Merchants of Doubt
[United States] : Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, 2015.
Format: Blu-ray + DVD
Description: 1 videodisc (93 min.) : sd., col. ; 4 3/4 in.
Inspired by the book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, the film takes audiences on a satirically comedic, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic, silver-tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities, yet have the aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change.
