An inconvenient truth - preview
'The most important film you will ever see' promises the advert Al Gore's documentary on global warming, which interweaves the personal story of his concern, is powerful, yet leaves one feeling ultimately hopeful
Al Gore's mission in life is touring the United States to alert people to the urgency and reality of global warming, and to counter the climate sceptics' propaganda The film shows him talking to people and government officials in India, China and Japan The combination of lecture, documentary film and Gore's passionate concern which he puts in the context of his own life make the film both eloquent and moving Sceptics have seen the film as self-promotional, but to me his sincerity is convincing
