Hard to believe but 18 years ago, I sent the great Alfonso Cuaron an advance copy of The Shock Doctrine and asked if he might be willing to write a blurb.
He made a short film instead. This is it. Still chills me.

Looks like one of the nation's top #climate deniers is angling for a job with the new administration. Here's his job application: a call to silence all federal research into the role of #climatechange in disasters, and an indirect assault on the US National Academy of Sciences.
