Leonardo DiCaprio has begun production
on 11th Hour, a feature length
documentary that will examine the state
of the global environment, and includes
visionary and practical solutions for
restoring the planet's beleaguered
ecosystems. The documentary, with a
target release date of mid 2007, will tackle
an issue that DiCaprio has championed
for years as it takes on a renewed
urgency in the wake of recent natural
disasters, and as increasing global
abuse brings the future of our
environment into greater question. He
has also narrated
short films made with the Tree Media group
called GLOBAL WARNING and WATER PLANET.
