Documentary
starring: Al Gore
Director: Davis Guggenheim Rating
Amazon.com Editorial Review: With the
fate of our planet arguably hanging in the balance,
An Inconvenient Truth may prove to be one of
the most important and prescient documentaries
of all time. As he jokingly refers to himself,
"former President-elect" Al Gore felt
an urgent personal calling to draw attention--as
he had been doing throughout his political career--to
the increasingly desperate crisis of global
warming, and this riveting documentary is basically
a filmed version (by respected TV director Davis
Guggenheim) of the PowerPoint lecture that Gore
has presented (by his own estimate, well over
1,000 times) to attentive audiences all over
the world. Considering Gore's amiable, low-key
approach to charts, graphs, statistics, and
photographs that leave no room for doubt regarding
the reality (not "theory") of global
warming as Earth's ultimate environmental crisis,
many viewers will be surprised by just how fascinating
and convincing this no-frills film really is.
