Bonnie Cohen and Jon Shenk/2017/100 min/Climate Change
FILM DESCRIPTION: A decade after An Inconvenient Truth brought the climate crisis into the heart of popular culture, comes this riveting follow-up. Nobel Peace Prize winner and former vice president Al Gore continues his tireless fight, traveling around the world to influence international climate policy. Cameras follow him as he shows how human ingenuity and passion can overcome climate change. Winner of the Critics Choice Award for Most Compelling Living Subject of a Documentary, and the Environmental Media Awards for Best Documentary Film, this film shows that although the United States is no longer in the Paris Climate Accord, our fight is not over. We are still in, and it’s up to us.
