Leo Urges Action on Climate in New Film

-- Ria -- 08/31/2007

Last week I saw the new Leonardo DiCaprio documentary on global warming - the 11th Hour. I had heard and read so much about the movie in the weeks leading up to its premier and so my hopes for the dashing Leo (c'mon, you know you liked Titanic) had no doubt become inflated. Not to mention that being the avid environmentalist that I am, I really wanted the documentary to be an effective, enlightening piece of work that thoroughly got across the urgent need for action to address the climate crisis.

Thankfully, my expectations were met!

Narrated by Dicaprio, the movie featured interviews from about 20 different experts and public figures all sharing their various perspectives while still delivering the same message... namely, "let's wake up!" While it's true that the subject is grave and incredibly serious, there is still hope. And, things can change. We've just got to turn up the heat...to cool it down.

The message of the movie was clear and I really hope it'll get more people talking about the need to solve global warming.
