FilmCrunch 028: An Inconvenient Truth Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Paramount, Documentary, Political, DVD Reviews, Short FilmCrunch, Videocasts,
Veronica Santiago and Neil Estep review the DVD release of Al Gore’s eye-opening film, An Inconvenient Truth, in this episode.
A look at former Vice President Al Gore’s commitment to expose the myths and misconceptions that surround global warming and inspire actions to prevent it. Gore, who, in the wake of the defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his life to focus on an all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change. With 2005, the worst storm season ever experienced in America just behind us, it seems we may be reaching a tipping point—and Gore pulls no punches in explaining the dire situation. Interspersed with the bracing facts and future predictions is the story of Gore’s personal journey: from an idealistic college student who first saw a massive environmental crisis looming; to a young Senator facing a harrowing family tragedy that altered his perspective; to the man who almost became President but instead returned to the most impassioned cause of his life—convinced that there is still time to make a difference.

We are separating the show for people like you, who want quick snippets about individual movies, and for people who might want to watch entire episodes with some extra segments and bloopers. We all work very hard on the full episodes, but understand there are people who just want a quick review. If you don’t want to watch both, you have the option to only watch one. 😊
