\u201cAn Inconvenient Truth\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cAn Inconvenient Truth\u201d is a 2006 documentary, directed by Davis Guggenheim (1963), which chronicles former U.S. Vice President Al Gore’s campaign to educate citizens about global warming. The film documents Gore giving a presentation on climate change with a touch of humour and a good dosage of visual material illustrating the horrific effect of global warming. By his own estimate, Gore has given the presentation more than a thousand times.<\/p>\n
The film\u2019s premiere was at the prestigious U.S. independent cinema festival\u00a0 at Sundance, where it received standing ovations from the audience. \u201cAn Inconvenient Truth\u201d was equally well received both by film critics and won two Academy Awards \u2013 Best Documentary Feature and Best Original Song.\u00a0 The documentary was also popular with the general public, earning $49 million at the box office worldwide, thus attesting to the professionalism of the filmmakers and the acuteness of the message.<\/p>\n
In 2007, Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Gore\u2019s latest book, \u201cOur Choice,\u201d which has just been released, puts forward a series of proposals for tackling global warming.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Embassy in Latvia hopes to continue to raise public awareness of global climate change and the need for us all to take a more active stance against it.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
