Certificate PG
Duration 100 mins
Former Vice President Al Gore joins us for the opening night of Film4 Summer Screen at Somerset House to present the UK premiere of his stirring and essential sequel to the 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth. A decade after the original became an unprecedented box-office hit, won an Academy Award and brought the climate crisis into the heart of popular culture, this riveting follow-up shows just how close we are to a real energy revolution.
The film follows Al Gore as he continues his fight, inviting the audience to travel the world with the tireless campaigner as he meets experts, visits parts of the globe affected by climate change, delivers his rousing, ever-evolving lecture and influences international policy. Behind the scenes, cameras capture moments both private and public as Gore pursues the idea that the perils of climate change can be overcome with human ingenuity, political diplomacy and an inspiring personal passion. The stakes have never been higher, and this brilliant and timely sequel is precisely the urgent wake-up call that we all need.
