Robert Kenner has won an array of awards for his documentary work exposing some of today’s least talked of social and environmental issues. His film Food, Inc. was nominated for an Academy Award and won two Emmys. His most recent documentary, Merchants of Doubt (winner of the HT2FF 2015 Audience Award) reveals how pundits-for-hire have spread confusion about threats from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change. Kenner received Peabody, Emmy and Grierson Awards for Two Days in October, an examination of key events during the Vietnam conflict.
