Superb documentary! The emphasis here is on the supposed, "debate" about climate change -- but they also tangentially address some other interesting denialist stories. Fast moving, entertaining and clearly organized to tell a story and what a shocking story it is. They interweave scenes and interviews with master illusionists, and with the history of big tobacco's denial of the health dangers of smoking, and then present an impressive series of interviews and clips to show how history is now repeating with denialism of climate change and so much more. Some pretty impressive clips and interviews in this too -- even has footage of Rex Tillerson! . The attention to detail, careful documentation and phenomenal sleuthing that this documentary highlights make it extraordinary. . One especially interesting idea that I got from this movie is that often, people tend to support perspectives that they believe are consistent with the social group that they see themselves a part of (their tribe so to speak) to such an extreme, that when they encounter data that contradicts their view -- they will work hard to discredit it and cherry pick out data that says what they want.
