The 11th Hour

The documentary sponsored by Leonardo Di Caprio which seeks to raise awareness of the human footprint on our biosphere.

It is worth watching and will likely stimulate some new thinking even in experienced environmentalists.   It consists of many statements by a range of experts on the behaviour and consequences of humanity interwoven with striking visual images and narration by Di Caprio.  It is predominantly environmental, but also touches on the cultural and spiritual dimensions.

While this presentation will help educate and raise awareness among those who are willing to listen, its impact on “Exxon thinkers” remains questionable.  But then again, what is going to change these  people?  Change must come from within, so it will probably only be personal crisis such as a heart attack or a child turning out differently to expectations, that will catalyse change in them.

I also make the same recommendation that I’ve made for other change movies – make it free and sponsor its distribution to get the message circulated quickly.  But Warner Brothers is not likely to follow that strategy.
