Title: Before the Flood<\/b>
\nDirector: Fisher Stevens<\/b>
\nGenre: Documentary<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2018Before The Flood\u2019 follows a two year journey made by Academy Award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio in his role as U.N. Messenger of Peace on Climate Change, to find both the crisis points and the solutions to this existential threat to human species.<\/p>\n

Oscar-winning filmmaker Fisher Stevens collects the account of the Hollywood environmental activist, through a visually engaging and profound documentary. The movie truly sets a mark on how we are all responsible for our planet\u2019s metamorphosis, and the way society can prevent the demise of endangered species, ecosystems and native communities across the globe.<\/p>\n

The mesmeric Odyssey embraces five continents, starting in the Great Canadian Oil Sands in northeastern Alberta (where DiCaprio was shooting \u2018The Revenant\u2019 with\u00a0 Alejandro I\u00f1\u00e1rritu), all the way to Greenland, where rapid ice melts provide startling evidence of how quickly the climate is changing. Along the way, the film crew visits places like Sumatra ? where palm oil farmers are burning oxygen-producing rain forest habitat at an alarming rate ? and the land that creates the greatest amount of pollution in the world, Chindia.<\/p>\n

DiCaprio serves as the audience\u2019s ears and eyes, not only visiting all these sites, but also speaking to people from every facet of society to gain a deeper understanding of this complex issue. Leonardo interviews Pier Sellers at NASA, Farwiza Farhan and Rudi Putra in the Leuser Ecosystem; and through some old footage we see how since his early twenties he addressed all American presidents on the subject of global warming, from Bill Clinton to Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

But the poetry of this motion picture is that it begins through art, and the way it may visualise a forthcoming threat. \u2018Before The Flood\u2019 opens with Leonardo DiCaprio illustrating the grotesquely alluring triptych painted by Hieronymus Bosch: The Garden of Earthly Delights. The painting is so important to him that he gifted a book about it to Pope Francis, after talking with the Holy Father during a private reception. The first panel depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden: what idealistically could have been the world prior to the industrial revolution. The second panel is how DiCaprio sees our 21st century: overpopulated, afflicted by debauchery and excess\u2026\u201cBefore the Flood.\u201d And the third panel is a nightmarish world we could be heading to, if we don\u2019t put an end to climate change.<\/p>\n

In an economy based on the exploitation of fossil fuels, oil, coal and natural gas the consequences are hazardous for the Earth. \u2018Before The Flood\u2019 does not point fingers only at the causes of this situation. It also provides solutions. Giga Factories<\/a> and a Carbon Tax<\/a> could be valuable to improve the planet\u2019s health. However as much as there are influential people who try to take action against climate change, there are just as many who deny it for financial interests. Oil companies for instance would lose trillions in profits with the advent of renewable energies. Therefore a group of \u201cclimate skeptics\u201d is leading a strong disinformation campaign that denies global warming is caused by humans.<\/p>\n

Director Fisher Stevens further reminds us that the awareness of global warming is not as recent as we may think. The problem has been known for decades, even through entertainment. \u2018The Bell Laboratory Science Series,\u2019 that used to broadcast during the fifties, discussed it already with\u00a0The Strange Case of the Cosmic Rays<\/a> and The Unchained Goddess<\/a> shot by the film director who won three Oscars, Frank Capra. Therefore DiCaprio\u2019s acceptance speech at the Oscars, highlighting the effects of global warming, simply enhanced what his predecessors in showbiz tried to do.<\/p>\n

\u2018Before The Flood\u2019 elegantly weaves in the storytelling Leo\u2019s speech at the United Nations, that comes with a warning that will not leave you indifferent: \u201cAs a citizen of our planet who has witnessed so much on this journey I thank you for all you have done to lay the foundation of a solution to this crisis, but after 21 years of debates and conferences it is time to declare no more talk. No more excuses. No more ten-year studies. No more allowing the fossil fuel companies to manipulate and dictate the science and policies that effect our future. This is the only body that can do what is needed. You, sitting in this very hall. The world is now watching. You will either be lauded by future generations, or vilified by them. Lincoln\u2019s words still resonate to all of us here today: \u2018We will be remembered in spite of ourselves. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the last generation\u2026 We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.\u2019 That is our charge now \u2013 you are the last best hope of Earth. We ask you to protect it. Or we \u2013 and all living things we cherish \u2013 are history.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Before The Flood\u2019 is a cinematic admonishment that was needed and will air globally on National Geographic, October 30th.<\/p>\n
