Before the Flood is a documentary featuring the exceptionally talented and influential actor and environmental activist, Leonardo DiCaprio. This documentary illustrates how climate change is affecting our environment and what human society can do to prevent the inevitable demise of endangered species, ecosystems and native communities across the planet. The film shows DiCaprio traveling the globe, examining our fossil-fuel addiction and the various other factors that are contributing to climate change.
This is one of my favourite documentaries thus far. Featuring A-lister, Leonardo DiCaprio, helped attract attention from viewers globally which was an effective way of promoting the extremely prevalent issue that is climate change. This documentary offers crucial and current information about the state of our planet, informing worldwide viewers of the various ways in which we are destroying our planet, whilst offering hope for future restoration. I enjoyed this film as it effectively explains the ways in which climate change is a problem but also provides solutions that can be taken at an individual level, making the film more enjoyable as a opposed to depressing. This film is effective in providing an insight into how our individual habits are contributing to environmental damage and climate change, stimulating conversation amongst viewers about how we as individuals can help mitigate environmental damage by changing our daily consumption habits. For persons that lack environmental awareness, I think this entertaining and comprehensive media outline was a powerful way to convey the message of climate change and educate ill-informed viewers about our current global issues.
My personal rating: 9/10
