On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we discuss FRONTLINE’s three-part series The Power of Big Oil, which exposes the fossil fuel industry’s decades-long efforts to mislead the public, cast doubt on the science, and delay action on climate change.
The series also explores how the oil industry, particularly Exxon Mobil and Koch Industries, used their wealth and influence to block climate change policy.
The Power of Big Oil is based on over 100 interviews and thousands of documents.
Guests:
Dan Edge, award-winning filmmaker and producer of FRONTLINE’s three-part series The Power of Oil
Kert Davies, founder and director of the Climate Investigations Center
