Director: Davis Guggenheim
Starring: Al Gore,
Former vice president Al Gore created this gripping documentary that looks at the myth, truth and phenomenon of global warming. Gore’s down home charm and gentle humor combined with the most important message ever delivered on film, made this film the most compelling cinema of 2006. It is warm, easy to understand and effective. It won the 2007 Oscar for best documentary, but more than that Al Gore won a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in this area.
This whole documentary is basically an enhanced version of Al Gore’s slide show demonstration of the whole global issue, including history, current situation, scientific and political views and solutions. If you knew little about this issue when you pulled this DVD from its renewable, minimalist cardboard case, don’t worry. By the end of the feature, you will be well-informed and convinced of the importance of its message.
An Inconvenient Truth is compelling and hypnotic. It’s run time will be over before you know it. If you are still unconvinced about the immediacy and reality of this issue, please accept the challenge of watching this motion picture and see how you feel when its end credits roll. If you are concerned that it will be too depressing, don’t be. By the end, the message is hopeful, if we can just each pitch in to do our part, we can make a difference. We better.
