MERCHANTS OF DOUBT




Landmark Theatres Film Club Q&A Podcast show

Summary: Robert Kenner (director) at The Landmark in West Los Angeles. Moderated by Landmark Theatres’ Dan Gorski. Film synopsis: Filmmaker Robert Kenner (Food, Inc.) takes audiences on a satirically comedic yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. He 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 contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change. Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway.
