"Try to talk to anyone about climate change and people just tune out," says Leonardo DiCaprio. We wanted to create a film that gave people a sense of urgency, that made them understand what particular things are going to solve this problem."
A lot has been happening in 2016 in the war on climate change. Looking at some of the headlines featured on the topic makes one realize that we need to take collective action as a matter of urgency. Get up-to-date with climate change in the world and SA - more info in articles below:

Before the Flood, a new feature-length documentary, presented and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio can be viewed FREE on 30 October 2016. Over the last three years, DiCaprio travelled the globe to explore the effects of climate change on the planet and its inhabitants.
While filming the documentary 'Before the Flood' DiCaprio gained insights from scientists, activists and world leaders on the massive global challenge that is climate change. His collection of interviews in the film—ranging from President Obama and the Pope through to Elon Musk and Piers Sellars—cover the science, impacts, vested interests, politics and possible solutions.

What has changed in the time since DiCaprio received Al Gore's climate lesson in An Inconvenient Truth just over 10 years ago?
Says DiCaprio, "Everyone was focused on small individual actions [back then]. Boiled down to simple solutions such as changing a light bulb. It's pretty clear that we are way beyond that now. Things have taken a massive turn for the worse."
