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.”
