Al Gore's climate change film An Inconvenient Truth gets sequel
Paramount Pictures says the follow-up documentary will premiere at 2017 Sundance Film Festival
Al Gore's climate change documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, is getting a sequel.
Paramount Pictures said Friday the follow-up to the Oscar-winning original will premiere at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival in January.
In the new documentary, former vice-president Gore examines global warming's escalation and the solutions at hand, Paramount said.
In a statement, Gore called for a re-dedication to solving what he called the climate crisis and said there are reasons to be hopeful.
He met this week with president-elect Donald Trump to discuss the topic and termed the meeting productive.
Several days later, Trump picked Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, a climate-change denier, as head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Sundance festival said it will feature other films and events about environmental change and conservation.
