What: A Special Screening of this New York Times Critic’s pick, the
documentary “Addiction Incorporated”.

Why: This film has won critical acclaim for its riveting true story of the
tobacco industry’s lies and attempts to silence the scientist who
blew the whistle on the industry. The film shows footage of the
scientist, Victor De Noble, testifying at the Congressional hearing
where tobacco industries were caught in their own web of lies.
This is a strong and thought-provoking film and a fascinating look
at the tobacco industry and its duplicity as well as the heroes who
proved their deception. This film also leaves you wondering how
widespread these types of tactics are throughout our systems.
