The 11th Hour

The Eleventh Hour is an expression referring to the last moments before a deadline or the imminence of a decisive or "final" moment. Usage of this term may be traced back to the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard in the Gospel of Matthew and also to the last moments of the First World War, which ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th Month of the year 1918.

In this 2007 feature film documentary, created, produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, on the state of the natural environment. It was directed by Leila Conners Petersen and Nadia Conners and financed by Adam Lewis, Pierre André Senizergues and Doyle Brunson, and distributed by Warner Independent Pictures.

With contributions from over 50 of the world's most prominent thinkers and activists, including former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, physicist Stephen Hawking, Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai, and journalist Paul Hawken, the film documents the grave problems facing the planet's life systems. Global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans' habitats are all addressed. The film's premise is that the future of humanity is in jeopardy.

The film proposes potential solutions to these problems by calling for restorative action by the reshaping and rethinking of global human activity through technology, social responsibility and conservation. Scientists and environmental advocates such as David Orr, David Suzuki, Paul Stamets, and Gloria Flora paint a portrait for a radically new and different future in which it is not humanity's intent to dominate the planet's life systems, but to mimic and coexist with them.

You look at that river gently flowing by.
You notice the leaves rustling with the wind.
You hear the birds; you hear the tree frogs.
In the distance you hear a cow.
You feel the grass.
The mud gives a little bit on the river bank.
It’s quiet; it’s peaceful.
And all of a sudden, it’s a gear shift inside you.
And it’s like taking a deep breath and going...
'Oh yeah, I forgot about this'.

• Al Gore, in the opening monologue of An Inconvenient Truth
