A Convenient Truth - Jack Guest

Inspired by and in response to Al Gore's much hyped and popular Inconvenient Truth, an extra-ordinary young film-maker from South London, UK has made a film which rather than pointing out the obvious disasters awaiting us if we ignore climate change, highlights some of the positive changes we can make to avoid such calamity. Jack Guest has rather wittily entitled his project A Convenient Truth and judging by the preview trailer it is more than worth a watch.

"In Autumn 2006, Jack Guest and a small film crew travelled to Sweden. They spent three weeks visiting the people and projects that are leading the way in positive solutions to climate change. The idea behind the film was simple. Everybody knows that the threat posed by climate change is tremendous. Everybody knows that to avoid terrible consequences our societies must change, fast.
But what many people don’t know is what this change will look like. Nor how it will affect their lives. The Convenient Truth is that solutions for a stable climate do exist, and that they can enrich, rather than restrict, our lives. The problem of climate change can be an opportunity for us all, the world can get better, and we can even keep the saunas."
