Promising New Documentary On Climate Denial Industry - "Greedy, Lying Bastards" (w. Trailer)
Greedy Lying Bastards is a new film hitting mainstream theaters nationwide in the U.S. this weekend.
If you like DeSmogBlog, you're going to love this film.
Here's the Rotten Tomatoes review including theater times, etc. (Feel free to add your own star rating!)
The film, produced by actress Daryl Hannah and directed by Craig Rosebraugh, essentially tells the DeSmogBlog story. Greedy Lying Bastards chronicles the dirty money trail from tobacco companies paying for fake experts to attack the science linking cigarettes and cancer, through to the modern day equivalent of oil companies paying fake experts and think tanks to attack climate science and fight against any government attempts to regulate pollution to protect public health.
Michael O'Sullivan's review in the Washington Post today describes Greedy Lying Bastards best:
"There actually is plenty of sober and sobering evidence presented to support the films thesis that (a) climate change is real, (b) its our fault and (c) a bunch of bad guys have prevented us from getting a handle on it. Its that last part, alluded to in the films title, that is the films bread and butter."
