With a must-see film that every adult and teen in America should see at least once: 
"Merchants of Doubt" -- the film that lets you hear from the disinformation agents themselves, and shows you how corporate control of the political process is hurting you, your family, and any hope for a livable future.

Tuesday night each month, starting in 2 weeks.
Same location, same time, same price, but a new day.
at the historic Grand Theatre
"Merchants of Doubt"  
"A well-documented, pulls-no-punches account of how science works and how political motives can hijack the process by which scientific information is disseminated to the public."-Kirkus Reviews

 Upcoming Film

"Merchants of Doubt"
Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway, MERCHANTS OF DOUBT takes audiences on a satirically comedic, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic, silver- tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities - yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change.
