Acerca deste filme

Inspirado no aclamado livro de Naomi Oreskes e Erik M. Conway, Profetas Da Mentira leva o público a um passeio satiricamente cómico, mas esclarecedor, ao coração da influente opinião americana. O cineasta Robert Kenner revela um grupo furtivo de comentadores persuasivos altamente carismáticos que se apresentam nos meios de comunicação social como autoridades científicas – contudo, têm o objetivo contrário de espalhar a confusão máxima sobre ameaças públicas bem estudadas, que vão desde produtos químicos tóxicos a produtos farmacêuticos, a alterações climáticas.

Classificações e críticas

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.

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.

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