Al Gore's 2006 climate-change documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, has been influential in American consciousness nearly 20 years after its release. The film, which premiered in North American cinemas in May 2006, has shifted the American consciousness and resulted in significant shifts in action. Despite recent deregulatory actions by President Donald Trump, Gore believes that public opinion is on the side of solving the climate crisis and solutions have advanced rapidly. He urges Americans not to dismiss the idea that the film is no longer relevant due to advances in technology and science.
