Al Gore takes action in trailer for An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

In 2006, former United States Vice President Al Gore released AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, a documentary film which sought to educate citizens about global warming. The film became a critical and box-office success and has been credited for raising public awareness of climate change. Now, over a decade later, Al Gore is back with a timely follow-up in which he “continues his tireless fight traveling around the world training an army of climate champions and influencing international climate policy.” AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER will continue Gore’s battle against climate change and Paramount Pictures have released the first trailer for the upcoming documentary.

The film opened at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and our own Chris Bumbray was on-hand to check it out. Although he found the film to be effective, Bumbray also said that it likely won’t make as big an impact as the first did as it merely “preaches to the choir.” Check out Chris Bumbray’s full review right here.

The official synopsis for AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER:

A decade after AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH brought climate change into the heart of popular culture, comes the riveting and rousing follow-up that shows just how close we are to a real energy revolution. Vice President Al Gore continues his tireless fight traveling around the world training an army of climate champions and influencing international climate policy. Cameras follow him behind the scenes – in moments both private and public, funny and poignant — as he pursues the inspirational idea that while the stakes have never been higher, the perils of climate change can be overcome with human ingenuity and passion.

AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER is set for a July 28, 2017 release.
