Al Gore takes aim at Trump in the sequel to An Incon­ve­nient Truth

29 Mar 2017

Words by Stephen Puddicombe

The for­mer Vice Pres­i­dent turns up the heat in the fol­low-up to his award-win­ning cli­mate change doc.

A decade after An Incon­ve­nient Truth brought cli­mate change to the atten­tion of the mass­es, the pas­sion­ate envi­ron­men­tal­ist (and for­mer US Vice Pres­i­dent) will bring the top­ic back into the light.

Direct­ed by Bon­ni Cohen and Jon Shenk, this fol­low-up looks at where we are now, and what has hap­pened in the inter­im. We fol­low Gore as he trav­els the globe to wit­ness the effects of glob­al warm­ing up close, and see him attempt to per­suade gov­ern­ment lead­ers to invest in renew­able energy.

The trail­er is book­end­ed by clips of the cur­rent US president’s dis­mis­sive remarks on the mat­ter, but hits a more opti­mistic note by spot­light­ing the suc­cess of the Paris Cli­mate Agree­ment in 2016.

“We’re see­ing a tremen­dous amount of change,” Gore tells a live stu­dio audi­ence, ​“But it’s still not enough”.

An Incon­ve­nient Sequel: Truth to Pow­er is released 25 August.
