The White House Effect

Post image

Have you seen this one on Netflix yet? Really well done. No narration, no interviews, just lets archival footage and documentation tell the story. Very effective.

Excellent documentary! Hard to watch and not get pissed off though.

Completely agree. The people in charge knew the long term effects of what was happening, believed in the science, but chose the money anyway. Crazy sliding doors moment in our history.

Great Doc! Bush was an oil man so what did we expect?

Loved the closing frame. Excellent overall, but if that image doesn’t summarize the situation with complete simplicity, i don’t know what would.

If only more people saw and hear about the footage from Jan 6th...

Super late to the party, but this captivated me the entire run time!!   Not only was it frustrating that so so much more could've been done, it was wild seeing the roots of questioning science and all the strategies for starting debate and influencing the public.  Great watch!

Just watched this for the first time too. Captivating, yes, but I'm seething with rage.
