An Inconvenient Sequel: Exclusive clip from the follow-up to Al Gore's game-changing global warming doc

The clip shows the expansive damage rising sea levels have had on Miami Beach, Florida

In 2006, Davis Guggenheim released An Inconvenient Truth, focused on former United States Vice President Al Gore's campaign to educate ordinary people about global warming.

The documentary shook the world. A critical and box office success, it won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and has now found its way into many a school and college curriculum.

It felt like the world's eyes had been opened, and many viewers vehemently vowed to reduce their impact on the environment. It's been an uphill battle, but An Inconvenient Truth felt like a major push for the popular movement of environmentalism.

How much has changed? And how much more needs to be done? That's where An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power steps in, following Gore's own global efforts to persuade leaders to create better investment in renewable energy sources, culminating in the landmark signing of the Paris Agreement last year.

After the documentary's premiere at Sundance, Donald Trump withdrew from the Paris Agreement. A devastating moment for anyone invested in the future of the planet, and one that's now seen An Inconvenient Sequel take on a new urgency, with the film now edited to reflect these developments.

A new clip from the doc is just one example of why change is so urgently needed, in which Gore visits Miami Beach, Florida, an area that's been dramatically affected by rising sea levels.

An Inconvenient Sequel hits UK cinemas 18 August. You can book tickets for a special preview on 11 August, featuring Al Gore live in conversation, here.
