The professional doubt-makers hired by every industry that kills.
Where to Watch

Based on the book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway. Documents how a handful of scientists-for-hire have been paid by industries — from tobacco to chemicals to fossil fuels — to manufacture doubt about established science.
Our Review
THIS is the film that explains why it took so long for asbestos to be regulated. The "merchants of doubt" worked for the asbestos industry just as they worked for tobacco and fossil fuels. If you've ever wondered how asbestos companies could deny what their own scientists knew, this film reveals the machinery.
