A blatant piece of propaganda about combating malaria that advocates DDT as the only means of effectively eradicating the disease, 3 Billion and Counting doesn't bother with anything resembling a middle ground: Those who offer counterpoints are treated with blank incomprehension and director D. Rutledge Taylor's total unwillingness to engage with scientific evidence contrary to his beliefs.
A blatant piece of propaganda about combating malaria that advocates DDT as the only means of effectively eradicating the disease, 3 Billion and Counting doesn't bother with anything resembling a middle ground: Those who offer counterpoints are treated with blank incomprehension and director D. Rutledge Taylor's total unwillingness to engage with scientific evidence contrary to his beliefs. Instead, the film favors conspiracy theories and half-truths, in addition to discrediting Planned Parenthood as a racist institution and Silent Spring as the work of a vindictive cancer victim. It will incense you---for all the wrong reasons.---Simon Abrams
