A useful example of a movie that goes beyond entertaining...
Can be used for Qns on celebrity influence (Al Gore arguably is a celebrity) and the influence of the media on our thinking....

Note also how MNCs role in funding research should be viewed with scepticism as these are often calculated to protect their financial interests, i,e, profits.
"Just as Big Tobacco lost the fight against medical science despite years of anti-science lobbying, oil companies will eventually have to own up to the truth about greenhouse gases"

Qns.
1. Do films offer anything more than an escape from reality? (Cam. 2014)
2. Human need, rather than profit, should always be the main concern of scientific research. Discuss. (Cam. 2016)
3. To what extent is it acceptable for private companies to be involved in financing scientific research? (Cam. 2011)
