An Inconvenient Truth (DVD)

A Cry For Help. An Inconvenient Truth. ********** “It is difficult to get a man to understand something if his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” Upton Sinclair. ********** A film directed by Davis Guggenheim and starring Planet Earth, as represented in her time of Great Crisis by Former Vice President Al Gore. ********** It’s a long time since I’ve seen a film that affected me so deeply as this one did.

Here it comes people, the third and final instalment of my Tuesday night (which was actually ages ago now, dooyoo took so long adding this category, I think it was all just for the suspense value!!!)....I bet none of you can wait! As you all know (because you were paying attention) we went to the Electric Cinema on Portobello Road, for those of you who read my last review, you will know that the Electric Cinema is a tiny cinema with only one screen, so you have to see what they are playing, the Tuesday that we went, they just happened to be playing An Inconvenient Truth.

~~~~~~“I'm Al Gore, I used to be the next president of the United States of America.”~~~~~~ An Inconvenient Truth is former United States vice President Al Gore’s documentary on global warming, which was released in 2006.
