Leonardo DiCaprio is newly confirmed to attend the premiere of eco documentary Before the Flood on 15 October at the Odeon Leicester Square. DiCaprio will join actor and director Fisher Stevens on stage to introduce the film, which is executive produced by Martin Scorsese and premieres as part of the BFI London Film Festival.
Before the Flood follows DiCaprio as he travels to five continents and the Arctic to document the dramatic changes now occurring around the world due to climate change. He speaks to scientists, world leaders, activists and local residents to gain a deeper understanding of this complex issue and investigate concrete solutions to the most pressing environmental challenge of our time.
“We can no longer turn a blind eye to the issue of climate change,” says Stevens. “We are at a crucial moment where if we don’t act now, we will forever pay the price.
“I’m looking forward to sharing Before the Flood with the BFI London Film Festival. London is one of the greatest cities in the world and my hope is that this film provides a global wakeup call about our inevitable fate should we fail to act.”
