Our Review
The tobacco industry's playbook — suppress internal research, fund junk science, attack whistleblowers, lobby against regulation — is the EXACT playbook asbestos companies used. Every mesothelioma patient will recognize the pattern. This is arguably the best corporate whistleblower film ever made.
