Before the Flood
Documentary96 min
Leonardo DiCaprio travels across the globe to track how climate change is reshaping the planet, from threatened ecosystems and endangered species to coastal communities already living with rising seas. As the film’s guide and interviewer, he meets scientists, activists, and political leaders, including Barack Obama and Pope Francis, to ask what can still be done at the level of policy, industry, and daily life. The documentary moves between field visits, public speeches, and conversations with experts, keeping its focus on the visible environmental damage and the choices being argued over in response.
