Subject: WATCH: DiCaprio's "Before the Flood" Free Online

 

Dear Margaret,  Today, one of the most important climate documentaries of our time becomes freely available for anyone across the world to watch it at home. My team and I have been working with Leonardo DiCaprio's film crew for nearly a year now to highlight the close connections between deforestation and climate pollution and we are thrilled to finally be able to share the finished project with the world. If you have access to the National Geographic Channel, DiCaprio's hard hitting film, Before the Flood, will broadcast into a half a billion households in 45 languages on that station tonight at 9:00 PM. But DiCaprio's team is so driven to get as many people to see this film as possible before the U.S. elections take place in just over a week, that they are offering the public free access to stream the whole movie online here. This film pulls few punches, calling out climate deniers and corporate offenders by name and calling for nothing less than a total transformation of human societies and economies to meet the existential challenge climate change poses to civilization and much of life on earth. Please do watch this film, and if you are inspired by it, please share it with anyone and everyone you think should see it too. At this critical juncture in history, we simply can no longer allow those who deny overwhelming scientific evidence about climate change to impede critical and urgent action. For the sake of people and the planet, #VoteTheClimate!
