The Big Ask goes to the movies
1 February 2007

Friends of the Earth has teamed up with the Prince Charles Cinema in London to put on a series of special screenings of Al Gore's climate change documentary An Inconvenient Truth.

Members of the public will get a chance to see the film, hotly tipped for an Oscar, and grill MPs in a question and answer session afterwards.

Make a date with David Miliband

Environment Secretary David Miliband and Friends of the Earth Director Tony Juniper will be taking questions from the audience in the first event on February 26th.

Many people will watch An Inconvenient Truth and wonder what our own Government is doing to tackle climate change. The first Big Ask cinema night on the 26th is an opportunity to find out by putting questions directly to David Miliband - the man in charge of our climate policy.
