Chasing Ice (2012) *

Heavy-handed propaganda film about global warming. Its images of receding glaciers are stunning, but they would have been far more effective if accompanied by thoughtful insights even-handedly presenting all sides of the issue, allowing viewers to make up their own minds. Instead, we get countless variations on a single argument, repeated ad nauseam: "those who don't believe in global warming are Satan-worshipping heretics who should be burned at the stake!". It gets boring after a while.
