America's
top green heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio is bringing his much-anticipated
environmental film, The 11th Hour, to the Cannes Film Festival for a special
screening this Saturday. And although there's no way most of us are going to
make it there for the event, we're pretty excited nonetheless.
DiCaprio's film features interviews with over 50 leading scientists,
thinkers and leaders (such as David Suzuki and Stephen Hawking) -- discussing
the state of the world and humanity. Sounds pretty heavy. The title refers to
the last moment change is possible (right now) and shows how we got to this
point and what we can do to save ourselves. We don't know too much else about
it yet, but hopefully we'll be able to glean some interesting details before it
officially hits theatres.
Until then you can visit the 11th Hour site and join the campaign to “Lighten
Your Footprint”. And of course you can read all the interesting tidbits about greening
efforts at Cannes. Am Pav (the American Pavillion) is being sponsored by The 11th
Hour to keep its recycling program going strong. Al Gore’s An Inconvenient
Truth sponsored it last year.
