ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Rated an impeccable 93% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, this Academy Award winner for Best Documentary is a look at global warming that is altogether imformative, infuriating and illuminating. Former presidential candidate Al Gore holds this film together as, in front of an audience and with few aids beyond photo slides, he explains how humans have messed up the planet. Gore issues an urgent warning on what must be done, and done quickly, to save the earth. "It grabs you like a thriller with an ending that will haunt your dreams" (Rolling Stone).
