Katharine Wroth |

| Jessica Weisberg is an American journalist currently based in South America. The following is her take on the peculiar cultural dominance of An Inconvenient Truth. ----- I liked Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. Really, I did. But when I count off my reasons -- the special effects, the wet-your-pants astonishment, the drama -- I find myself applauding the film's popular appeal more than its take-home message. ... |

Lisa Day, Participant Productions. The film itself focused on the two biggest contributors to the problem: fossil fuels and deforestation. Ho ... |

| Lisa Day. What work do you do? I am the vice president of social action and advocacy at Participant Productions. What does your company do?

An Inconvenient Truth wins Oscars, Al Gore wins affection |

Daily Grist |
| Martin Who? An Inconvenient Truth wins Oscars, Al Gore wins affection Rock star. Superhero. Visionary. That pre-Oscar hype paled next to last night's event, which saw Al Gore -- looking blissfully bloated in a Ralph Lauren tux -- take home an award for Best Documentary Feature and Best Original Song. OK, technically the Goracle himself didn't win either of the statuettes for An Inconve ... |

Truth Be Told
Gore's new flick, An Inconvenient Truth, improbably succeeds |
David Roberts |
24 May 2006 |
Arts and Minds |
| It's something of a miracle that An Inconvenient Truth, the chronicle of Al Gore's quest to raise alarm about "climate chaos," exists at all. A movie with a scantily clad Jessica Alba presenting a computer slideshow on climate science is implausible enough. Al Gore doing it, well ... even C-SPAN could be forgiven for having second thoughts. Albert Arnold Gore Jr. may be many things, ... |

There's a ton of Hollywood cash spent at Sundance, and I could see it everywhere I looked last week. The "VIP" corporate parties on Main Street. The piles of free stuff for celebrities. The Moviefon ... |
