| Synopsis |
| A look at former Vice President
Al Gore's commitment to expose the myths and misconceptions that surround
global warming and inspire actions to prevent it. Gore, who, in the
wake of the defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his
life to focus on an all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable
change. With 2005, the worst storm season ever experienced in America
just behind us, it seems we may be reaching a tipping point--and Gore
pulls no punches in explaining the dire situation. Interspersed with
the bracing facts and future predictions is 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 life--convinced that there is still time to make a difference. |
