The visual medium can bear a significant influence forming worldviews, demonstrated by compelling narratives through historic photographs. Cinema too has the potential to provoke and sensitize audiences with awareness, empathy, even alarm. The Inconvenient Truth [2006] is considered to be a milestone documentary on Climate Change, whose impact continues to dominate conversations years after its release, in both small and big ways; it has inspired ordinary people to engage with environmental studies, politics, even activism. Cinema can have negative impacts too, like in the fictional Jaws [1975] that caused widespread panic about sharks, and is also associated with the sharp rise of shark hunting that followed its release.
