This epic documentary follows Leonardo DiCaprio as he travels the world to examine firsthand the effects of climate change, and to learn more about possible ways to prevent catastrophic damage that could make the Earth unsustainable for human life. During his journey, he speaks with such influential figures as President Barack Obama, Pope Francis and tech innovator Elon Musk, and makes a speech before the United Nations calling for greater action on this issue.



A serious, substantial piece of work.
— Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
Frustrating but frequently compelling ...
— Amy Brady, Village Voice
Regardless of what perspective you have going into the film, there’s something to learn from DiCaprio’s three-year journey in making it.
— Alyssa Rasmus, PopMatters
This is well-researched, clearly articulated, and quite frankly terrifying stuff. Before the Flood makes you want to slap people in the face with your knowledge.
