You’re Invited to a Free Screening
An Inconvenient
Truth
“In 39 years, I
have never written these words
in a movie review, but here they are:
You owe it to yourself to see this film.”
-Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
“Powerful, intelligent and
surprisingly entertaining, Gore presents a compelling case.
You’ll believe a film can change the world.”
-Helen OHara, Empire Magazine
“The film is more suspenseful than
many thrillers and more emotional than many tear-jerkers. And, most
of all,
it’s scarier than any horror flick.”
– Donal Munro, Fresno Bee
