The 11th Hour

The 11th Hour (2007): Environmental documentary 11th HOUR resides at the polar opposite of escapist summer fare, its mission to firmly confront viewers about the indelible human footprint that humans have left on this planet, and the catastrophic effects of environmental neglect and abuse. Produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, and ably directed by Nadia Conners and Leila Conners Peterson, the documentary doesn’t get much fancier than talking heads, news footage, and the occasional animated illustration, but its message is potent and delivered effectively.
