In honor of Earth Day, HBO reinforces its commitment to the environment this year with 'THE 11TH HOUR', a Hollywood documentary created, produced and narrated by Academy Award nominated actor Leonardo DiCaprio, on the state of the natural environment. The film documents the grave problems facing our planet’s life systems.

HBO remains the pioneer in leading initiatives to increase awareness about the future of humanity. It uses the power of entertainment to educate the viewers by calling for restorative action through technology, social responsibility and conservation. Global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the ocean’s habitat are forcing us to reshape and rethink global human activity. Make a commitment to promote a sustainable environmental future for our planet this Earth Day on your Home Box Office.

In the words of Leonardo DiCaprio, “Global warming is not only the number one environmental challenge we face today, but one of the most important issues facing all humanity. We all have to do our part to raise awareness about it”.
