American Centre narrates ‘An Inconvenient Truth’

‘An Inconvenient Truth’, a documentary records a multi-media presentation which was hosted by Former Vice President Al Gore in which he discusses the scientific facts behind global warming screens.

Directed by Davis Guggenheim and produced by Lawrence Bender, the film will be screened at American Centre at 6.00 pm on Tuesday, April 22.

A long-time environmental activist, Gore first became aware of evidence on global warming in the 1970s, and since leaving public office he has become a passionate advocate for large- and small-scale changes in our laws and lifestyles that could help alleviate this crisis. He explains how it has already begun to affect our environment and talks about the disastrous consequences if the world's governments and citizens do not act, and shares what each individual can do to help protect the Earth for this and future generations.

Meant as a companion documentary to the book of the same name, 'An Inconvenient Truth' chronicles the career of former-Vice President Al Gore as he focuses on potentially one of the biggest issues facing future generations, global warming. Gore lays out the case for the causes of warming, and traces his concerns with this phenomenon, from his early days in politics through the aftermath of the 2000 Presidential election. This film won 2 Oscars, another 21 awards and 5 nominations.
