Documentary Screening of “Before the Flood”

 

The Alameda Free Library is proud to present a free screening of “Before the Flood” on Sunday, October 7, 2018, at 2:00 pm. This program will be held at the Main Library, 1550 Oak Street, and is open to all. No registration is required.

 

From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Fisher Stevens and Academy Award-winning actor, environmental activist, and U.N. Messenger of Peace Leonardo DiCaprio, Before the Flood presents a riveting account of the dramatic changes now occurring around the world due to climate change, as well as the actions we as individuals and as a society can take to prevent catastrophic disruption of life on our planet. The film follows DiCaprio as he travels to five continents and the Arctic speaking 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.

 

More information about the film, which will open in theaters on October 21, and air on the National Geographic Channel on October 30, may be found at https://www.beforetheflood.com.
