Congratulations to “An Inconvenient Truth,”  which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature .  This documentary was produced by David Guggenheim. Davis Guggenheim’s father was Charles Guggenheim (BA 1948, Communication and Theatre Arts). Charles made over 100 documentaries and was nominated for 12 Academy Awards, winning 4. He was recognized with the UI Alumni Association’s Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award in 1972 and spoke at the UI as a Distinguished Alumni Lecturer in the mid-1990’s. He often credited his Iowa roots, especially his time as a debater under A. Craig Baird, for much of his success. Charles died in 2002.
