Which 2006 documentary featured Al Gore and won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature?

An Inconvenient Truth was the 2006 documentary featuring Al Gore that won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Directed by Davis Guggenheim, it presents Gore’s climate-change lecture alongside his personal history and explanations of the scientific evidence.

The film grew out of Gore’s presentation about global warming and focuses on rising greenhouse-gas concentrations, melting ice, sea-level rise, and the potential consequences of climate change. It became a major public discussion point because it translated complex environmental data into a widely accessible cinematic presentation.

At the 79th Academy Awards in 2007, An Inconvenient Truth won Best Documentary Feature. It also won the Oscar for Best Original Song for “I Need to Wake Up,” written by Melissa Etheridge. March of the Penguins, Super Size Me, and Fahrenheit 9/11 are documentaries, but none is the Al Gore film that received this award.
