Then, read all of the overview text at the bottom of the prompt describing this unique film on a relevant and controversial topic.
Watch the film and be objective in your discussion as you address the specific prompt question. Take notes on all of the specific titles of the speakers, noting their ETHOS and/or their credibility to speak on the matter. Also, pay close attention to the film's emphasis on how this particular topic is more of a media and/or a political issue than a scientific issue--even though it is obviously a scientific subject, and the speakers in the film actually ask why they are censored when they advocate for the scientific method instead of dogma.
In this response, you will be evaluated, in a big part, on your ability to accurately and specifically decipher the claim (the thesis) OF THE FILM and multiple points made in the documentary--in addition to how you respond to the very specific prompt question below using your own unique critical thinking and analysis.
PROMPT QUESTION: Given the qualifications of speakers in the documentary, especially those with science backgrounds with earned credentials, explain why you believe their "natural causes" (for climate change) views are censored in mainstream media and/or never presented through open debates with those who preach the popular narrative on this particularly charged topic of global warming. NOTE: This prompt is NOT asking you to defend a position either for or against the subject of global warming, as doing so would be to miss the thesis of the documentary and this prompt because the focus of this prompt is on the media and/or the dissemination of information.
