Al Gore has a triumphant new documentary about climate change and Trump you need to see

Published by Business Insider on Fri, 20 Jan 2017


PARK CITY, UtahIn 2006, the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" gave Al Gore, not long after his vice presidency, a huge platform to show the dangers of climate change, a subject he's fought to educate the public aboutfor decades.The film went on to win an Oscar and also led many who claimclimate change is a hoax to rethink how to combat what scientists have already proven is a major issue facing our world.Gore has returned with all his PowerPoint gusto to remind everyone that climate changeis still here and can't be ignored with "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power," which just had its world premiere here at the Sundance Film Festival on Thursday.The movie expands on its fact-heavy predecessor to delve deeper into how the world is being affected by climate change and also shows Gore's seminars and backroom dealings to move the cause forward.Directed by Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk, the movie follows Gore as he travels witnessing how global warming has hurt the worldfrom the melting glaciers in Greenland to the rising tide in Miami that causes roads to be flooded.But the movie also has a little more drama than "An Inconvenient Truth." Yes, Gore is still doing a PowerPoint presentation as in the first movie, but we also watch preparations for 2015's Paris Agreement, a global pact to mitigate climate change, and how Gore's maneuvering with India on solar power led to the landmark agreement.We also see powerful imagery, like rushing flood waters that have led to destroyed homes and the loss of life. And the prediction in "An Inconvenient Truth" that a future storm could flood lower Manhattan coming to fruition when Hurricane Sandy hit New York City.One of the most interesting moments in the movie is when Gore travels to Georgetown, Texas, to see for himself how one of the most conservative parts of Texas has taken to alternative means of energy and is quickly becoming one of the biggest regions of the country for the use of renewable energy.But just when Gore thinks he's making progress, he comes upon another pothole. The latest is Donald Trump winning the election. Trump promised during his campaign that he would not support the Paris Agreement. As news sites reported and the film shows, Gore has gone to Trump Tower to speak to Trump himself about climate change.After the screening of the movie at Sundance Thursday night, Gore did not divulge what he said in that meeting with Trump, but he did have a message for the new president at the screening about climate change: "We're going to win this."SEE ALSO:Here are the must-see movies that are going to win Oscars in 2017Join the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: Here's a look at the final bloody trailer for the new 'Wolverine' movie
