The Academy Award-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” will
be shown Thursday, March 22, at Illinois State University’s Global Review.

Admission is free.
Carolyn Treadway of Normal, a counselor and environmentalist, has gone through special training with Al Gore on the topic and the movie and will lead the discussion after it is shown.
Davis Guggenheim directed the movie, which was a hit at the Sundance Film Festival. “An Inconvenient Truth” offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man’s (Gore’s) fervent crusade to halt global warming’s deadly progress in its tracks by exposing the myths and misconceptions that surround it.
The film won the 2007 Academy Award for Documentary Feature and received special recognition from the Humanitas Prize, the first time the organization had handed out a Special Award in over 10 years. It also received the 2007 Stanley Kramer Award from the The Producers Guild of America.
