The Fifth Estate

Silence of the Labs (39x10)


Air date: Jan 10, 2014

In the past few years, the federal government has cut funding to more than 76 world renowned research institutes and hundreds of programs. Now scientists have become unlikely radicals, denouncing what they call is a politically-driven war on knowledge. In The Silence of the Labs, Linden MacIntyre tells the story of scientists - and what is at stake for Canadians - from Nova Scotia to the B.C. Pacific Coast to the far Arctic Circle.
