Academy Award®-winning documentary
-
Starring Nobel Peace Prize Winner Al Gore
-
And what Al calls "my slide show" (actually it's a PowerPoint presentation)
-
Huh? A film about a slide show!?
-
Yep. And, believe it or not, it actually works!
Mr. Gore has been working on his "slide show" for over a decade and, by his own count, has delivered it to various
audiences over 1,000 times.
The film was first shown at the Sundance Film Festival, in January 2006, and went into wide release in the US in June of 2006.
Mr. Gore has also written a companion book, which is now available in either
paperback
or
hard cover
formats.
To learn more about the film you can read about it on

(The Internet Movie Database) or you can visit the official website for the movie at

AL GORE WINS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!
October 12, 2007
Al Gore, along with the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in
Oslo, Norway today. (See coverage by
The New York Times.)
The Nobel citation said, in part, that Mr. Gore “is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted” to combat Global Warming.
Gore lost the US Presidental election of 2000 after the US Supreme Court stopped vote recounts in Florida. There are
currently calls to "draft" Mr. Gore into the 2008 Presidential campaign, but Mr. Gore has said he is not interested
in politics right now (although he has not flatly refused to enter the race, as of now).
A web community,
www.draftgore.com has raised enough money to run a full-page ad in the New York Times
asking Mr. Gore to enter the race. The fact that the Nobel Committee has chosen Mr. Gore as their 2007 Nobel Peace
Prize recipient is sure to increase the speculation over Gore's intention to run.
