The International Wednesdays documentary series presents the 2006 film An Inconvenient Truth, today at noon in the International Student Centre on the second floor of Laurier Hall.

Former US vice-president Al Gore has travelled the world delivering a presentation on the global climate change, proving that humankind must confront global warming now or face devastating consequences. This film—winner of the 2007 Academy Award for best feature documentary—captures his journey as a worldwide environmental champion.

The issue of global warming is clearly one that is close to Gore’s heart, as he took to the road after his failed 2000 presidential bid on an international lecture circuit to raise awareness and inspire action on the near-crisis levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the havoc they are already wreaking on the planet.

International Wednesdays screenings are free and open to the public.
