Description
How much time do we have before our ecosystem collapses? Fronted by Academy Award®-winning actor, environmental activist and UN Messenger of Peace, Leonard DiCaprio, this landmark new film presents an informative and engaging account of how society can prevent the demise of endangered species, ecosystems and native communities across the globe. Viewers are presented with visual evidence of a worsening environmental crisis that is inflicting irreversible damage on pristine landscapes from Greenland to Indonesia, disturbing the balance of our planet’s climate and hastening the extinction of beloved animals. Encouraging people to vote for leaders who prioritise climate change policies, the film also explains real, practical solutions to help save the planet. DiCaprio interviews individuals in both developing and developed nations who provide unique, impassioned and pragmatic views on what must be done today – and in the future – to transition economic and political systems into environmentally friendly institutions. Interviewees include US President Barack Obama, Former US President Bill Clinton, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Pope Francis, as well as top NASA researchers, revered scientists and fervent activists working to save the world. Climate change is the most fundamental threat facing our planet. Before the Flood encourages people to work together as a collective voice to demand major action now – and ensure our survival. A National Geographic Production.
