An Inconvenient Truth opens nationwide today, and I am going to see it tonight, and am prepared for it to change my life. A list of all theatres by date is also below as well as some of my other thoughts...
I will be going to see this important film tonight. I have been waiting a long time for someone to bring this truth to the masses. Since I was eleven years old and first saw the ad of the Native American standing with one lone tear in his eye as garbage washed up around his feet, the issue of our planet and its sustainability has been my heart. Al Gore, you are the missive of the 21st Century leading people to see the truth about an issue that effects everything else regarding our survival. What you have done is truly groundbreaking. But then, writing Earth In The Balance when you did was also groundbreaking, as people were not looking at this issue as something serious to our survival... and now look at where we are.
I know I have typed this before, but THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for doing this. My son who is 15 will also be watching this movie with me, and it is truly emotional for me because as a teen I was involved in making people aware of the polllution in our world, and I will now pass this mission down to him. And this must be it. This must be the "environmental revolution" of the 21 st Century. And it may sound corny and trite, but it IS for our children.
The overriding factor in all of this for me, is that we as a species are not only the victim in this crisis, we are also the ones victimizing ourselves!
Hopefully this movie will be the catalyst in making people aware that this can no longer be our fate, and just as we have the power to destroy, so have we the power to rebuild and restore that which is so precious to our lives...Our only home.
Thank you again for restoring my hope that this Earth is not forsaken and that the power is within us all. I am also going to write a review of this movie and will post a link to it here when it is done.
