Film: Documentary The 11th Hour

- The 11th Hour
The 11th Hour is a consciousness-raising contribution to the trump topic in the game-of-life shuffle: global ecological disaster. With scientific facts, doom-informed news footage, and essay-style montages of the environmental impact of our everyday lives, Leila Conners Petersen and Nadia Conners' documentary instills an ante-up urgency in its audience. Actor/activist Leonardo DiCaprio narrates over the 50 intercut interviews with talking-head advocates, including guess-who appearances (Mikhail Gorbachev, Stephen Hawking), while solution-oriented experts (Bruce Mau, William McDonough), discuss the distressed state of the natural world. The film posits not mankind vs Mother Nature, but rather a future hinging on careful, collaborative change.
Note: A discussion with the directors follows the screening.
