An Inconvenient Truth is a 2006 American documentary directed by Davis Guggenheim, built around a multimedia slide-show presentation on climate change that former Vice President Al Gore had delivered many times before the film adapted it for theatrical release. The documentary presents scientific evidence for human-caused global warming alongside Gore's own account of how he came to prioritize the issue, framing a policy and science topic through the format of a single reasoned public lecture. An Inconvenient Truth won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and is widely credited with substantially raising American and international public awareness of climate change.
