An Inconvenient Truth

“Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just

ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.
If that sounds like a recipe for serious gloom and doom -- think again. From director Davis Guggenheim comes the Sundance Film Festival hit, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, which offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man's fervent crusade to halt global warming's deadly progress in its tracks by exposing the myths and misconceptions that surround it. That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his life to focus on a last-ditch, all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change. In this eye-opening and poignant portrait of Gore and his "traveling global warming show," Gore also proves himself to be one of the most misunderstood characters in modern American public life. Here he is seen as never before in the media - funny, engaging, open and downright on fire about getting the surprisingly stirring truth about what he calls our "planetary emergency" out to ordinary citizens before it's too late.”

Watermans Arts Centre will be showing “An Inconvenient Truth” from 6 – 12 October. They have agreed to let us display some leaflets and to have an informal discussion for members of the audience in the bar area after one of the showings (date and time to be decided). Details will appear on the EFoE website shortly – if you'd like to join the discussion and don't have internet access please call Virginia on 020 8847 0016 for more information.

It will also be shown at the Ealing Empire (formerly Cineworld) but I haven't confirmation of dates yet. It's in Empire cinemas from 22 September but not necessarily Ealing.
