The 11th Hour is the last moment when change is possible....
Leonardo DiCaprio's “The 11th Hour” is a feature length documentary concerning the current environmental crises caused by human actions and their future impact on the planet. "The 11th Hour" documents the cumulative impact of these actions upon the planet's life systems and calls for restorative action through a reshaping of human activity.

With the help of over fifty of the world's most prominent thinkers and activists, including reformer Mikhail Gorbachev, physicist Stephen Hawking, and Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai, “The 11th Hour" documents the grave problems facing the planet's life systems. Global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans' habitats are all addressed, and their causes are rooted in human activity. The combination of these crises calls into question the very future not of the planet, but of humanity.

However, the most powerful element of “The 11th Hour is not a portrait of a planet in crisis, but the offering of hope and solutions. Scientists and environmental advocates such as David Orr and Gloria Flora paint a portrait for a radically new and exciting future in which humanity seeks not to dominate the earth's life systems, but to coexist with them in harmony.

“The 11th Hour" calls for a future now within our grasp that is both sustainable and healthier.

In addition to the film, we have created an action community that will help individuals and communities connect with each other to help find solutions that will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, increase the use of renewable energy, and slow down consumption of natural resources.

Stay tuned and we'll keep you updated.

In preparing for my trip to the international climate negotiations in Bali I

packed suits and a briefcase stuffed with science papers and a laptop.

After today I feel like I should have just brought a bull horn and some

spray paint. Maybe its not too late to find them...

My Blog

“I wanted to write a long explanation of why I’m doing this print to help promote the movie the 11th Hour and to generate funds for the 11thhouraction.com. Unfortunately, I’m short on time and so is planet Earth as we know it. Basically the film expands on the Earth crisis explained in an Inconvenient Truth. Global warming, deforestation, pollution, dependence on petroleum, and over -population. The film puts these issues in frightening perspective but also shows there are solutions.
