Al Gore’s documentary film “An Inconvenient Truth” will be shown from Nov. 27 to Nov. 30 as part of a global warming discussion series funded by more than 11 departments.

The film will be begin each night in Sarratt Cinema at 7 p.m.

Released in March of last year, the film follows Gore’s efforts to stop what he considers to be global warming’s rapid progress by dispelling myths and misconceptions about the issue.

Following each night’s showing, a faculty member will lead a discussion addressing global warming from a different angle. Topics will include the science, ethics, politics and economics of the issue.

Professor Molly Miller, one of the event’s facilitators, said, “The discussions will feature and be led by faculty from the law, economics, political science and philosophy departments.”

The event, which is free for members of the Vanderbilt community, hopes to foster discussion and debate about the various issues surrounding environmental issues.

“The individuals involved in the event want to get Vanderbilt talking about global warming,” said Patricia Conway, an event coordinator. “The discussions are a great opportunity to think about some of the really hard questions that come up around this issue.”

“I have always been interested in global warming,” said sophomore Clay Giese, a member of Students Promoting Environmental Awareness and Recycling. “I am a huge advocate of showing this film to the Vanderbilt community.”

Giese said that students representing all viewpoints will be welcome at the showings and discussions.

“Everyone is encouraged to come and have their voice heard,” said Giese. “It is a great opportunity for people to voice their opinions and ask their questions about global warming. I am hoping it will be a great event,” he said.
