This vivid piece of environmental advocacy contains enough information to persuade any open-minded viewer about the threats of climate change. Oscar-winning filmmaker Fisher Stevens (The Cove) teams up with producer/host Leonardo DiCaprio to track DiCaprio’s two-year journey around the world as a United Nations Messenger of Peace. Learning everything he can by joining scientists on expeditions, including an investigation of Caribbean coral reefs on the research ship Alucia, and meeting with political leaders and activists, DiCaprio searched for—and found—hope in a rising tide of catastrophic news. “This documentary shows how interconnected the fate of all humanity is—but also the power we all possess as individuals to build a better future for our planet,” says DiCaprio.
