Al Gore’s "
An Inconvenient Truth" set into action creating his first film.
"When I invited
Al Gore to show his film, “
An Inconvenient Truth”, to the French Parliament, I realized just how much impact a movie could have, even more than a TV program. I saw how moved the audience was—to tears in some cases—and I said to myself that a feature film was an excellent way of reaching people," he affirmed at the global premiere press release.
Producer
Denis Carot states at the worldwide premiere, "Home is a film with a message that sets out to shift people's perceptions, make us aware of the tectonic movements at work and incite us to act. Although there is a general trend in our societies towards an awareness of ecological issues, concrete action is still too little, too slow—which constitutes in some ways the creed of the movie: It's too late to be a pessimist". He further explained the reasoning for portraying the film from the sky made the film more intuitive and emotional for the audience. This is true as the film draws one into the scenery of disaster and the overwhelming urgency of the issues ensues one to act.
The audience, gasps with realization as they mortified by the disasters around the globe from climate change.
Imagine overfishing the oceans to a massive Dead Sea in 2048.
Visuals of the arable land ceasing from depleted water resources. Statistics stating 40 percent of arable land exhausted in the past 40 years. Forests grounded and bare with nothing green in sight as every dead plant wrapped the frame extracted for resources around the globe.
One is caught in space of time recognizing the exigency of this debacle. The irreparable downhill turn is imminent, if the depletion of resources continues for the next 10 years. The global audience takes action as they view the world on a different scale.
