Merchants of Doubt takes audiences on a satirically comedic, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. Filmmaker Robert Kenner (Food, Inc.) 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.

Discussion following the film will be led by:

Prof. Carla Gunn, Psychology
Dr. Angela Wisniewski, Science and Technology Studies
Hannah Moore, Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Sustainability, ENVS/COPP Major
Others TBD

This screening of Merchants of Doubt is presented at Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú in conjunction with THE GALILEO PROJECT—a series of events in Fall 2018 focused on the themes of science, knowledge, and power—convened by Dr. Jane Jenkins (Science & Technology Studies), Dr. Robin Vose (History), Dr. Robin C.
