The Trick

“The Trick” narrates the tale of esteemed Professor Philip Jones, the head of Climate Research at the University of East Anglia, who in 2009 became embroiled in a global media frenzy and fell prey to cyberterrorism. As the clock ticks against an invisible adversary, the film explores the dire repercussions of dismissing climate change, illustrating how a media uproar eroded public trust in scientific findings and sidelined the notion of ‘truth,’ resulting in a lost decade of potential progress.
