'Merchants of Doubt'

Join Earth Island Journal and the David Brower Center on February 24 for a screening of Merchants of Doubt, a documentary that lifts the curtain on pundits-for-hire paid by large corporations to cast doubt on scientific studies and spread confusion about a range of public threats, from toxic chemicals to climate change. The 7 p.m. screening at the David Brower Center in Berkeley will be followed by a conversation on money in politics between Journal editor Maureen Nandini Mitra and MapLight's Pamela Behrsin.
