White Planet

Shot over three years by several crews working in parallel, the documentary unveils the hidden world of animals living in the harsh Arctic environment and exposes how this delicate ecosystem is under threat from global warming.

An Inconvenient Truth

Eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. The film is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry.
