After watching this documentary, i was completely frozen and amazed! this documentary really is a wake-up call for everyone. i think if everyone watched this movie, we would all have a better understanding of our own planet. i really want to thank Leonardo DiCaprio for making such an interesting documentary which is worth your time. i really recommend this documentary which as i now understand is on Netflix.

I have been involved in climate change education & action for many years. I found this film lacking in direction. As a narrative, it seemed to lack direction of defining the problems and solutions in a hard hitting way. There was too much talking with experts including politicians. What I believe was needed in terms of giving the strength to the call to action was more visuals of current & possible disasters of the future. There was a strong sense of despondency that Leonardo seemed to have. This would have fitted in ok as the challenges present & future were shown. But the film needed to show more options for resolution & a sense of the wonderful in terms of what some nations are doing while balancing it out with the peril of inaction. I felt like Leonardo had given up hope, so why bother making the film. He needed to demonstrate more sense of danger danger danger... unless unless unless. These challenges should have one sitting up & paying attention but I felt like I was reclining as a somewhat miserable & pessimistic person told his story of the last 15 years. This was not meant to be a film about Leonardo & his associates. It was supposed to be a film of the people. I did not get a sense of that. Even the section filmed in India did not get amongst the local population. Instead we are listening to a well meaning but middle class Indian politician do a diatribe about US consumption. That point had some validity but again the solutions were not being effectively presented.

Before the Flood showed us how global warming is affecting the world, why this is happening, and some solutions so we can fix it.The person that impressed me the most was Jason Box, the Greenland professor, because he showed how the ice was melting, and how much ice has already melted. He also said that if global warming continues the same, Greenland was probably going to disappear. I was shocked when I saw how much ice water was going into the ocean, and how fast the water level is increasing.I really liked this documentary, because its very enlightening, it made me realize how terrible the situation is with global warming, and also now i know that if we don't do something, the planet will probably die soon and we are are not going to have a home anymore.

Before the Flood is a sincere and objective documentary that gives us a brief but strong look at our past mistakes and how they are coming back to haunt us. Through the documentary you will see world leaders talk and try to take action and raise awareness about this problem, that is happening in our own backyards. Seeing such a variation of powerful people giving their own prespectives gives the documentary credibility. The documentary itself is a piece of art. Every person involved had their own struggles, their own point of view, and their goal. One goal that grabbed my attention was Dr. Piers, he has stage 4 cancer and he's willling to do anything in his power to make an improvement, He has faith in all of us, that we can change and make a difference, step by step. He demonstrated that we can't be negative or scared about our future. The best part was Leo's ability to travel and explore different parts of the world trying to understand every situation's need. It was just amazing. The drive he has is just mezmerizing. If you have any type of questions about global warming or how to help the environment, this documentary will give you the facts, and different ways of how you could help right now.
