Robert Rattle writes: "THE 11th HOUR - Leonardo Di Caprio's environmental documentary affirms that change is both necessary and possible. View this unsettling and inspiring film at Willowgrove United Church, 55 Tilley Road, Sault Ste. Marie, on Sunday, March 29th at 7pm and stay for a discussion facilitated by Robert Rattle. Refreshments will be served. (No cost) After collaborating on two short films (Global Warning, Water Planet), filmmakers Nadia Conners, Leila Conners Petersen and Leonardo DiCaprio set out to explore the larger story of the human experience on the planet. Seeking out credible voices to speak to the history of the human species, the state of the oceans, land and air, and social, design and political challenges for change, the trio ultimately netted 150 hours of interviews with over 70 scientists, designers, historians and thinkers. Narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, this captivating documentary explores the perilous state of our planet, and the means by which we can change our course. Contributing to this crucial film are noted politicians, scientists and other ambassadors for the importance of a universal ecological consciousness.
