Fighting the "snowball" problem, a new film is coming out- MERCHANTS OF DOUBT

Check out the trailer at the website-

http://sonyclassics.com/merchantsofdoubt/


"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."


This looks like a super important film.
