Science Friction
Those TV documentaries you see, and the science experts they feature? Did you know that producers often deceptively edit them and twist their words, to make them say the opposite of what they actually said? Science Friction sets the record straight.
Merchants of Doubt
Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, Merchants of Doubt 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 contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change.
Merchants of Doubt
Conway, Merchants of Doubt, tar publikum med på en satirisk, men opplysende reise inn i hjertet av amerikansk spin. Filmmakeren Robert Kenner løfter på sløret på en hemmelighetsfull gruppe karismatiske, taleføre vitsemakere som presenterer seg selv i media som vitenskaplige autoriteter – men som har et selvmotsigende mål om å spre maksimal forvirring om velundersøkte offentlige trusler fra giftige kjemikalier til legemidler til klimaendringer.
