Leonardo DiCaprio's climate change documentary "Before the Flood" is all set to make its world premiere at the upcoming 60th BFI London Film Festival.
Directed by the Hollywood superstar and Fisher Stevens, the documentary will be shown as a Special Presentation October 15.
"Before the Flood", for which DiCaprio also visited India, is 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 the issue
"We are thrilled to be presenting the European premiere of 'Before the Flood', a film that is both an urgent and illuminating update on climate change and a passionate clarion call from Leonardo DiCaprio and Fisher Stevens," said Clare Stewart, Director BFI London Film Festival.
Fisher said he was looking forward to present the documentary to the audience in London.
"We can no longer turn a blind eye to the issue of climate change; we are at a crucial moment where if we don't act now, we will forever pay the price.
The festival runs from October 5 to 16.
