An Inconvenient Truth arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. An Inconvenient Truth resists the urge to oversimplify a subject that deserves better. A documentary on Al Gore's campaign to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide. Featuring Al Gore and Billy West, it gets access that is hard to secure twice. It hit screens in 2006. The restraint in An Inconvenient Truth is what makes it trustworthy — it does not need to editorialise to make its point. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.
