Paramount Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, the follow-up to Al Gore’s Oscar-winning 2006 documentary that taught the basics of climate change to the masses. Directed by Bonnie Cohen and Jon Shenk, the film finds Gore traveling the globe to witness the devastating effects of climate change first hand while also devoting a good deal of screentime to the process of the groundbreaking Paris Climate Agreement. I caught the film at Sundance and it’s a surprisingly personal documentary, and it’s all the better for it. The doc shows an Al Gore who is angry and fired up, as well he should be—he did this over a decade ago and now he has to do it again because people still refuse to believe science?

The trailer begins with then-candidate Donald Trump making jokes about climate change, and indeed while it's clear that the film was supposed to climax with the Paris Climate Agreement and end on a hopeful note, there's a coda to the movie that addresses Trump winning the presidency. It'll be interesting to see how this film is viewed in light of the president's dangerous plans to roll back climate change regulation, and this trailer is much more a call to action than marketing for a movie.

Here's the official synopsis for An Inconvenient Sequel:

A decade after AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH brought climate change into the heart of popular culture, comes the riveting and rousing follow-up that shows just how close we are to a real energy revolution. Vice President Al Gore continues his tireless fight traveling around the world training an army of climate champions and influencing international climate policy. Cameras follow him behind the scenes – in moments both private and public, funny and poignant -- as he pursues the inspirational idea that while the stakes have never been higher, the perils of climate change can be overcome with human ingenuity and passion.
