What is it about? Thank You for Smoking
Nick Naylor doesn't hide the truth...he filters it.
Nick Naylor is a charismatic spin-doctor for Big Tobacco who'll fight to protect America's right to smoke -- even if it kills him -- while still remaining a role model for his 12-year old son. When he incurs the wrath of a senator bent on snuffing out cigarettes, Nick's powers of "filtering the truth" will be put to the test.
Genres: comedy, drama. Themes: research, capitalism, politics, smoking, cigarette, lie.
