Trust me I'm in public relations

Some fathers are Firemen, some fathers are Policemen, a few fathers are Spin-Doctors. This movie is the tale of one spin-doctor, Nick Naylor, spokesperson for the Academy of Tobacco Studies. As many in the PR/advertising industry have found, the harder the challenge the move ingenious and talented the players become. Nick is at the top of his game, but has to tackle changing public opinion, cancer kid, dying smokers and members of the Senate. This movie isn’t just about smoking, it is about how marketing and advertising work. But don’t let the subject matter put you off watching this movie; it is well paced with enough character building to make you warm to all the various characters, there is a little humour and some excitement too. You may actually finish watching the movie really liking the lead character, because at the heart of this movie is the very true statement that you cannot trust what you are being told in the media; you need to check the facts, develop your own opinion. Sadly few have time or the inclination to do so, so you will have to trust me, it’s a good movie!
