Leo Tackles Climate Change

Having finally won an Oscar last year, DiCaprio didn’t revel in the spotlight at the ceremony and instead used his acceptance speech to push the importance of climate change in this day and age. 
 

Now, he has gone one step further and released a feature-length documentary looking at the issues in depth, exploring the ways in which we need to moderate our behaviour to have the best chance of fixing the problematic situation in which we currently find ourselves. Using his celebrity influence, Leo managed to include some very high-ranking individuals in the film such as Barack Obama and Pope Francis to further emphasise his message and persuade viewers to act and realise the gravity of this issue. 

In what looks like an interesting documentary (despite being seemingly hypocritical given DiCaprio’s celebrity lifestyle), it’s probably worth a watch. Have a look at the trailer here. 

What’s more, the innovative distribution strategy is something that will become increasingly prevalent in the domains of both sport and film: it was streamed on Facebook Live last night. This meant that any member of the public could log onto Facebook and watch this stream for free. Additionally, for the remainder of this week the public will be able to watch this documentary free-of-charge at a moment of their choice. This will probably become commonplace for both broadcasters and brands due to the huge reach and engagement Facebook can offer, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for more exclusive content coming your way soon.
