Those TV documentaries you see, and the science experts they feature? Did you know that producers often edit them out of context, and twist their words, to make it seem like they promoted some pop sensationalism instead of the real facts? Science Friction exposes this practice and gives the scientists a chance to clear the record. The film was financed by private grants and donations. Sign up below for email updates on the release.

It may wake somebody up just as they were going to watch something like Mysterious Aliens from Below the Earth.

For the past few years, we’ve been told by various institutions to “follow the science,” but after watching this film, one has to wonder if these same institutions are going by the same shaky blueprint as these “entertainment” entities.

Rated: 4/5

Science Friction just skims the surface on the issues it focuses on, but is an enjoyable diversion and worth checking out.

Scientific literacy protects us from scams, junk products and a ton else. This stuff matters.

This finally blows the lid on all the UFO and Bigfoot TV shows. It is an important documentary because it shows just how much subtle manipulation the media does to sway people's opinions. This should be required viewing for school children in every country. Bravo to the producers of this documentary!!!

Extremely informative. Provides the behind-the-scenes information which demonstrates how some producers/editors change the context of what scientists and science communicators are actually saying. This is a must-see documentary for anyone who watches supernatural-themed "reality" shows.

Eye-opening interviews with experts whose contributions were edited or manipulated to to serve the biased goals of the film maker. If you wonder why experts are refusing to talk these days, you won't after watching this.

Brian Dunning brings a wealth of experience to his investigation of the intentional mishandling of scientific information by Hollywood. Science Friction is well worth a watch, along with this other films "Here Be Dragons", and "Principles of Curiosity". Brian also hosts a weekly podcast, "Skeptoid", which explores all sorts of myths, misinformation, and urban legends. Often, the true facts are far more interesting than the mythologies which grow up around them.
