Acerca de esta película

Inspirada en el libro Merchants of Doubt, de Naomi Oreskes y Erik Conway, este documental revela el mundo secreto de algunos denominados “expertos” y “autoridades científicas” cuya especialidad consiste en engañar al público en torno a temas como el cigarro, la industria farmacéutica, los químicos y el cambio climático. El impacto que estos personajes ejercen sobre temas fundamentales se explica a la par de las técnicas que usan para manipular al público.

Great movie. Best film based introduction I've ever seen to the dark art of industry sponsored science denial from scientists, historians, reporters and even a brave ex-politician. The film is both entertaining and informative. This film can get you started on a journey of learning that will help you separate out the junk science and the phony pseudo-scientists from real thing. After you see this movie, read the book.

If you want your worst fears about the decline of rational American dialogue confirmed, this film should do the trick. While we all know that PR firms are paid to lie and deceive, to see Marc Morano brag about his ability to portray himself as an expert in a field about which he knows nothing and then go on to freely admit harassing his enemies with suggestions of physical violence via email is actually unnerving. What does it say about our situation when a man brags about his bad character. The film clearly shows how charlatans who peddled cigarettes are sometimes the very same charlatans who deny climate science. I'm going to try to have a public showing in our town.

Hi, This movie is above average. Trump is a merchant of doubt. Thanks. God bless. Aaron
