‘An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power’ Review: Al Gore Back & More Vital Than Ever
Climate change deniers be damned. Former Vice President Al Gore is back taking his message of the increasing dangers of global warming — and possible solutions to the problems — directly to moviegoers in a rich and human sequel to his 2006 double-Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth. That movie led to a Nobel Peace Prize for his determined efforts to warn of Earth’s eventual demise if something is not done to stem the tide(s).
This time around, original director Davis Guggenheim takes on a co-executive producer credit as new directors Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk employ a new approach in showcasing Gore and his message — the slideshow in the first documentary replaced by more of a Direct Cinema approach. Gore, obviously trusting them, allowed unprecedented access. As I say in my video review above, the helmers find much new material to mine here by tracking Gore from Greenland and the melting ice caps to India, the Philippines, Paris and all over the U.S. as the former VP gives us visual evidence of our certain demise if nothing is done.
