Warner Home Video UK is proud to announce the DVD release of THE 11th HOUR. Produced and presented by Leonardo DiCaprio, the film is a powerful and inspiring environmental documentary, motivating audiences to take personal action against global warming and informing them about practical ways of doing so. The DVD includes over an hour of special features.
Narrated by renowned actor and high profile environmental campaigner Leonardo DiCaprio (The Departed, Blood Diamond); THE 11th HOUR is co-directed and co-written by Tree Media Group’s Leila Conners Petersen and Nadia Conners. Petersen also produces with DiCaprio, Chuck Castleberry (Global Warming, Water Planet), Brian Gerber (Jimmy Scott: If You Only Knew) and Pierre Andre Senizergues. Well known businessman and philanthropist Adam Lewis is executive producer.
THE 11th HOUR presents an urgent and transformational look at where we have been, where we are going, and most crucially, how we can change. Influential experts including: Mikhail Gorbachev, Stephen Hawking and sustainable-design expert William McDonough reveal the critical state of life on our planet. By bringing the audience face-to-face with the shocking outcomes of continuing on our current path, they urge and motivate action. Will the world’s population employ break-through technologies and change our behaviour to save our species? The crisis is here now, but so are the solutions to turn humankind’s darkest hours into its finest.
