"AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH"Oct 15 @ 4pm / Oct 16 @ 7pm, Director:Davis GuggenheimCountry: USADocumentary / 95 minutes / English Language Director/producer Davis Guggenheim follows former United States Vice President Al Gore’s fervent crusade to halt the deadly progress of global warming. Exposing the myths and misconceptions that surround this hot topic, Gore is seen as never before – engaging, funny and aggressively direct – as he appeals to the world’s citizens to make the necessary changes before it’s too late. According to Gore, the tools and methods to reverse these calamitous environmental effects are at hand and the economic consequences of tackling environmental problems would be positive. In this gripping and urgently prescient documentary, Guggenheim eloquently weaves the facts of global warming with Gore’s lifelong dedication to environmental causes. Skillfully combining footage of Gore’s rousing presentations with images of natural disasters – including Hurricane Katrina – alongside compelling computer graphics that demonstrate what will likely befall the planet in the immediate future, Guggenheim effectively communicates Gore’s potent message: AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH is required viewing. “Gore builds a persuasive case for immediate action.”– Dennis Harvey, Variety
“Miss this documentary at your peril- your world could depend on it.”- Peter Howell, Toronto Star
