<div>A decade after “An Inconvenient Truth”, winner of two Oscars at the Academy Awards for best documentary and best song, “An inconvenient sequel: Truth to power” arrives at the French Riviera.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>Directed by Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk, the sequel is a follow-up to the acclaimed 2006 documentary that brought Al Gore´s tireless fight to raise awareness about climate change, its dangers, and threats, into the heart of popular culture.&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>“An inconvenient sequel: Truth to power” <a href="http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/festival/films/an-inconvenient-sequel…; target="_blank">shows Al Gore behind the scenes</a> in private and public, funny and poignant moments, through Greenland, India, Europe, Asia and across the U.S.A.&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>Speaking to the press at the Cannes Film Festival, the environmental activist said: “The dangers we face from the climate crisis are now more severe than what the scientists predicted. It has gotten worse. But the primary message of the movie is that we now have the solutions available and we can solve this. We are beginning to implement these solutions. But the main challenge is to summon sufficient political will to implement these solutions and that’s why this movie has the message: it´s time for action”.&nbsp;</div>
