Merchants of Doubt

From the health effects of smoking to the existence of climate change, those whose bottom lines could be impacted by the weight of scientific evidence have turned to masters of obfuscation, spin, and creating the appearance of debate where no ground for debate exists. The sleight-of-hand employed by lobbyists upon the congress, media, and public, gets a compelling takedown in this effort from Robert Kenner ("Food, Inc."). 96 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1. Two-disc set.
