If you could know the truth about the threat of climate change — would you want to know? Before the Flood, presented by National Geographic, features Leonardo DiCaprio on a journey as a United Nations Messenger of Peace, traveling to five continents and the Arctic to witness climate change firsthand. He goes on expeditions with scientists uncovering the reality of climate change and meets with political leaders fighting against inaction. He also discovers a calculated disinformation campaign orchestrated by powerful special interests working to confuse the public about the urgency of the growing climate crisis. With unprecedented access to thought leaders around the world, DiCaprio searches for hope in a rising tide of catastrophic news.

Following the film there will be a panel discussion with Professor Erich Osterberg, earth sciences; Anne Kapuscinski, environmental studies; Lauren Culler, environmental studies and the Institute of Arctic Studies at the Dickey Center; and Victor Cabrera '19. 

Co-sponsored by the Institute of Arctic Studies at the Dickey Center for International Understanding and the Hopkins Center for the Arts. Free and open to the public.
