About the event

CFI WNY Presents: Misguided with Matthew Facciani – Live on the Big Screen!

In a world overloaded with misinformation, knowing the facts isn’t always enough. Why do people believe things that aren’t true—and what can we do about it? Join us at the Center for Inquiry Western New York for a live screening of Skeptical Inquirer Presents, featuring social scientist Matthew Facciani, author of Misguided: Where Misinformation Starts, How It Spreads, and What to Do About It.

📅 Date: Thursday, August 7, 2025
🕕 Time: Doors open at 6:00 PM | Livestream at 7:00 PM
📍 Location: Center for Inquiry WNY – 1310 Sweet Home Road, Amherst
☕ Café Hour: Enjoy coffee, snacks, and conversation before the show

In this insightful presentation, Facciani explores the social and psychological forces that shape false belief—like identity, group loyalty, and online echo chambers. Drawing from research and real-world examples, he’ll outline practical strategies for navigating today’s misinformation landscape: how to talk to people you disagree with, recognize your own blind spots, and promote truth in your circles and communities.

Whether you're concerned about conspiracy theories, vaccine misinformation, or simply want to become a better critical thinker, this event will give you tools to push back against the tide of falsehoods.

🧠 After the livestream, stay for an informal discussion in our reading room to dive deeper into the themes and share your own experiences with misinformation and belief.

🎟️ Free and open to all.
