More about the film:
 Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A long-time advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way.
"Al Gore strips his presentations of politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style, and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats, gripped by his haunting message," said Guggenheim. "An Inconvenient Truth" is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share.
