Cinéma Humain is proud to be part of this global event organised by National Geographic. Given the significant threat global warming holds, this event seeks to set in motion a global movement that would see our planet preserved for future generations.
Before the Flood follows Leonardo DiCaprio on a journey as a United Nations Messenger of Peace as he travels to five continents and the Arctic to witness climate change firsthand. He joins scientists in the field so as to uncover the reality of climate change. As such, the film presents an informative and engaging account of how society can prevent the demise of endangered species, ecosystems and native communities across the globe. Audiences are presented with visual evidence of a worsening environmental crisis that is inflicting irreversible damage on pristine landscapes from Greenland to Indonesia, disturbing the balance of our planet’s climate and hastening the extinction of beloved animals. This eye-opening documentary reveals a calculated disinformation campaign designed by powerful special interests in order to confuse the public about the urgency of the growing climate crisis. Ultimately, the film searches for a glimmer of hope despite the overwhelming evidence of catastrophic proportions.
Serving as a warning ahead of the US election for Americans to vote for leaders who prioritise climate change policies, the film thus explains real, practical solutions to help save the planet. DiCaprio interviews individuals from every facet of society in both developing and developed nations who provide unique, impassioned and pragmatic views on what must be done today – and in the future – to transition economic and political systems into environmentally friendly institutions.
Participants include US President Barack Obama, former US President Bill Clinton, US Secretary of State John Kerry, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and Pope Francis, as well as top NASA researchers, forest conservationists, renowned scientists, community leaders and fervent activists working to save the world.

Congratulations on a very impressive documentary.
It should convince the unconverted – at least those
who have not already been blinded by their own greed.
Profound doesn’t begin to describe this documentary! It’s the most powerful, cconcience-provoking film I’ve ever watched! I really hope we can still save our beautiful planet. Starting now, our diets will change, public transport preferred and all electronics turned OFF, rather than on standby. Well done to everone involved in the making of this film!
Thanks for sharing… I will definitely give my contribute with more responsibility after watching this documentary.
Everyone should have to watch this. We ARE the last best hope. I can’t help but feel pessimistic that without action now, the worst is yet to come, and it’s coming fast. I am so saddened and angry that there are so many avaricious officials and leaders who STILL refuse to accept science. Climate change will be catastrophic if we don’t take urgent note of what the facts are telling us. Share and take action, that’s all we can do.
