On the March 9th edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with Robert Kenner, director of Merchants of Doubt, a documentary that examines the history of corporate-financed efforts to convince the public to doubt scientific findings. How can citizens influence climate change policy when the media give the doubters so much attention? Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
Robert Kenner, award winning filmmaker and director of Merchants of Doubt
Stanton Glantz, professor of medicine and director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California San Francisco
