Al Gore explains the contributing factors to the growing climate crisis, describes changes to the environment caused by global warming, and discusses the shift in environmental policy that is needed to avert disaster.

While at base little more than a filmed version of a PowerPoint presentation, this documentary is in fact one of the most important and riveting films produced in decades. It is, as A.O. Scott of the New York Times wrote, "necessary."

Former Vice President Al Gore presents an eye-opening and compelling view of the future of our planet - and our civilization - in the MUST-SEE documentary of the year. This is a wake-up call that cuts through myths and misconceptions to deliver the message that global warming is a real and present danger, and it brings home Gore's persuasive argument that we must act now to save the Earth.

Director Davis Guggenheim gracefully depicts Al Gore?'s personal history, tracing his lifelong commitment to the environment, while boldly illustrating the most powerful points of the Vice President's lecture. Not merely "good for you," the result is an entertaining, beautiful and even amusing film that should not be missed.

This special, low-environmental-impact DVD presentation of the critically and popularly acclaimed AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH is packaged with all-recycled material and printed with non-toxic ink. It includes an all-new introduction from Al Gore and a music video for Melissa Etheridge's Oscar®-winning song "I Need to Wake Up."

It's time to become part of the solution. The first step is immersion in AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH.
