L'undicesima ora

The 11th Hour

Reversing the fate of our planet is still possible. Global warming, increased flood frequency, hurricanes, and desertification all reveal the threatening effects the global impact of human activity has on eco-systems. Aside from alarmist scenarios, the point of no return may be just around the corner. Enlisting the support of personalities such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Stephen Hawking, former CIA chief R. James Woolsey, along with numerous advocates of sustainable development, The 11th Hour, produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, illustrates the causes deeply rooted in our lifestyle for the current environmental situation and offers possible solutions to the problems of a man-made system that is slowly yet inexorably turning against its inventor.
