The issue of climate change experienced a media boom during the climate crisis at the beginning of the 21st century, when Al Gore, environmental activist and former US vice president, released the film “An Inconvenient Truth” (2007). The film won an Oscar and raised contemporary questions about global warming.
Actor Leonardo Di Caprio has also produced a series of films about climate change, and the audiovisual medium has become a popular medium for disseminating dilemmas, scientific discussions and real stories related to the topic. From 2007 to 2019, Al Gore produced a new film, Netflix produced several documentary series and the World Bank organized Film4Climate, a global film competition on the subject.
