Humanity
is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's
scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that
could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving
extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond
anything we have ever experienced.
If that sounds like a recipe for serious gloom and doom -- think again. From
director Davis Guggenheim comes the Sundance Film Festival hit, AN INCONVENIENT
TRUTH, which 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
"travelling 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.
