| | AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH |
| (Embedded image moved | |
| to file: pic08106.jpg) | This film offers a passionate and |
| | inspirational look at one man's fervent |
| | crusade to halt global warming's deadly |
| | progress in its tracks by exposing the |
| | myths and misconceptions that surround |
| | it. That man is former Vice President |
| | Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in |
| | the 2000 election, re-set the course of |
| | his life to focus on a last-ditch, |
| | all-out effort to help save the planet |
| | from irrevocable change. In this |
| | eye-opening and poignant portrait of |
| | Gore and his "traveling global warming |
| | show," Gore also proves himself to be |
| | one of the most misunderstood |
| | characters in modern American public |
| | life. Here he is seen as never before |
| | in the media - funny, engaging, open |
| | and downright on fire about getting the |
| | surprisingly stirring truth about what |
| | he calls our "planetary emergency" out |
| | to ordinary citizens before it's too |
| | late. |
