Merchants of Doubt is a well-produced documentary covering the tactics employed, mostly by multinational corporations, to fund their own organizations, committees and pseudo-experts to counter the scientists on the other side who have shown evidence and published papers that the over-consumption or use of their product is detrimental to life, whether personal or environmental. These committees or individuals are there, not to counter the claims of these scientists with evidence of their own, but to cast doubt in the court of public opinion on those claims, causing either stagnation or downright hostility towards those who are coming forward with facts that are detrimental to the industries that are reaping great profits from keeping regulations against them at bay for as long as possible.
