>From Director Davis Guggenheim comes the Sundance Film Festival hit, AN
INCOVENIENT TRUTH, which offers a passionate and inspirational look at one
man's commitment to expose the myths and misconceptions that surround global
warming. 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 is 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 is too late.



At the heart of the film is Gore's mesmerizing multimedia presentation about
the predicament the earth now faces. With 2005, the worst storm seasons ever
experienced in America just behind us, it seems we have reached a climate
tipping point and Gore pulls no punches in explaining the dire situation.
Interspersed with the bracing facts and future predictions is also the story
of Gore's personal journey: from an idealistic college student who first saw
a massive environmental crisis looming; to a young Senator facing a
harrowing family tragedy that altered his perspective; to the man who almost
became President but instead returned to the most impassioned cause of his
entire life  believing there is still time to make a difference.



With wit, smarts and hope, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH ultimately brings home
Gore's persuasive argument that we can no longer afford to view global
warming as a political issue, rather, it is simply one of the biggest moral
challenges facing every person in our times.  Paramount's Classics has
committed 5% of their domestic theatrical gross for their film, "AN
INCONVENIENT TRUTH," with a minimum guarantee of $500,000 to be donated to a
new bipartisan climate effort, Alliance for Climate Protection.
