GEN C: Science, Research, and Misinformation

Episode: Eagle Eye 2022 (TV) - trailer

Script written by R.K.D. Kho (2021):

In 2022, as the world continues to grapple with COVID‑19, a quiet battle erupts between hard‑won scientific knowledge and a torrent of misinformation. The film opens with stark images of empty streets, overflowing hospitals, and scrolling news headlines, while a narrator sets the stage: the pandemic is still raging, but a more insidious conflict is unfolding—the clash of evidence‑based science with false narratives. The personal stakes become clear when virologists receive threatening emails after publishing papers confirming aerosol transmission.

Overall, GEN C: Science, Research, and Misinformation weaves personal stories, data visualizations, and expert analysis into a balanced portrait of how truth battles falsehood during a global health emergency, ultimately affirming the enduring value of scientific integrity.
