I remember a friend telling me a long time ago about the concepts explained in this documentary. It’s almost hard to believe but we know that power controls what we learn through the media. I saw this crazy article today on Grist that is related to this documentary: http://grist.org/news/florida-officials-banned-from-talking-about-climate-change/

I’m glad these film makers exist and work so hard to research their version of the truth! Films are one of the mediums that is very accessible to large numbers of people (versus, say, books or magazines that not as many people read). It also means that when I say something I can say “look, it’s in this documentary! I didn’t make it up”. 😉
