He tried to warn us. Eleven years ago AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH was released in theaters, ushering in the latest era in awareness of global warming. In the decade since doc filmmaker Davis Guggenheim followed Al Gore on the lecture circuit many of the former vice president’s dire warnings have come to pass. Extreme temperatures are now the norm, as are massive superstorms. Arctic ice shelves crack and fall into the sea. Small islands are slowly disappearing.
Things look bad, but it’s not too late. AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER arrives to give us hope, notes Indiewire, saying it “hits an inspiring note at a moment when it's in short supply.” In this follow-up to the blockbuster original, Al Gore looks at how far we have and have not come on climate change, and he also helps us understand the renewable energy sources that are already here that can make all the difference in the world… for the world.
It’s not too late to solve the unfolding crisis, and AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL offers a road map to a new, better world that is not just economically sound but environmentally positive, allowing us to leave our children and their children an Earth that is not only habitable but is just as beautiful and bountiful as the one we inherited. -- Alamo
