Former 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. An Inconvenient Sequel premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for the Golden Eye Award at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. Running Time: 100 minutes - Print Courtesy of Paramount Pictures * Mr. Gore is scheduled to appear, subject to availability. After successfully completing the mandatory course, members may also take — on a strictly voluntary basis — any other safety training course offered by CSATTF in Los Angeles. The Guild encourages all members to take advantage of these courses. As with Safety Pass, a member's completion of such courses is noted on his or her Qualification List or Eligibility List profile.
