“The Trick” narrates the experiences of the esteemed Professor Philip Jones, who led Climate Research at the University of East Anglia. In 2009, he became embroiled in a global media frenzy and fell prey to cyberterrorism. As the clock ticked against an invisible adversary, the film explores the dire implications of dismissing climate change, highlighting how media uproar eroded public trust in scientific facts and sidelined the notion of ‘truth,’ resulting in a lost decade for taking action.
