PREVIEW
Leonardo DiCaprio is a do-gooding sort concerned about the current state of the environment, as well as being an Oscar-nominated movie star. Having obviously seen the impact that Al Gore documentary An Inconvenient Truth had on folk, DiCaprio has produced his own message movie for the masses. The 11th Hour apparently offers us 'visionary and practical solutions for restoring the planet's ecosystem', which is a really good thing, seeing as our grandkids will all be catching serious rays in January at the rate things are going. Sure, those irritated by preachy documentaries and global warming deniers may not be queing up to see this; but it's not aimed at them - more the everyday folk who define the 'What can I do, I am but one manwoman attitude'. Well, go and see this and you'll find out.
