I first met the documentarian Davis Guggenheim in 2006, when I was working on the first national magazine piece on the movie that would win him an Academy Award and bring Al Gore back from the wilderness: An Inconvenient Truth.
Four years later, Guggenheim and I met again, in the run-up to the release of his Waiting for Superman. One product of that reacquaitance was another piece; another was a friendship between us.
