LOS ANGELES - The Al Gore documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" will receive a
rare recognition from the Humanitas Prize <http://www.humanitasprize.org>,
which honors screenwriting that helps "liberate, enrich and unify society."

"An Inconvenient Truth," which chronicles Gore's quest to draw attention to
global warming, will receive the organization's first Special Award in over
10 years, president Frank Desiderio announced Wednesday.

"It's a very important film," he said in a statement. "We want to shine a
light on it."

The documentary's director, Davis Guggenheim, said he was "thrilled" with
the recognition, adding that Humanitas "supports the achievements and
sacrifices of filmmakers trying to change the world."

Since 1974, the Humanitas Prize has presented awards and grants to TV and
film writers whose fictional work reflects "the positive values of life."
Documentaries are occasionally recognized with Special Awards. The last such
honors went to Bill Moyers and Judith Davidson Moyers in 1995 for their
documentary "What Can We Do About Violence."
