- What occurred
- Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth was a revolutionary documentary that provided visual evidence of the urgency of the environmental crisis the planet currently faces. This form of media was amongst the first that showed viewers the threat human activity has on the global climate. Additionally, this documentary was backed by scientific findings, so not only did the imagery help portray a daunting message, but the evidence gathered from data was quite affective to audiences. Because of the harsh yet accurate cinematography the film displayed, an rise in public awareness was brought upon an international level. The film also stirred up some controversy between different political groups and people, because the idea of what is more important, economics or the environment, became even more relevant. The media has the power to publicize an issue on a mass scale, and this documentary was certainly no exception to that, ultimately adding to the overarching environmental movement.
