Poker Legend to Fund DiCaprio Documentary
|
May 23 - Living poker legend, Doyle Brunson, temporarily traded in his 'poker
hat' for an environmental one, after he financed an environmental documentary
that was produced, co-written and narrated by Hollywood star, Leonardo DiCaprio.
The documentary known as '11th Hour' is a feature length film that examines the
state of the global environment and explores possible solutions to restore
damaged ecosystems. It was co-written and directed by Nadia Conners and Leila
Conners Petersen.
Said Brunson on the documentary, 'I am confident that 11th Hour will raise a lot
of awareness about an issue that is not only affecting the planet but all living
things including humans, animals and plants.'
11th Hour will premier at the world-renowned Cannes Film Festival in France as a
special 'Out of Competition' screening, currently on until May 27th. The
documentary is expected to open in the United States in the fall.
Said DiCaprio about the film, 'We all have to play out parts to raise awareness
about global warming and the problems we face as the environment we are living
in is rapidly being deteriorated.'
The documentary features Kenny Ausubel, Janine Benyus, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sylvia
Earle, Gloria Flora, Michel Gelobter, Mikhail Gorbachev, Thom Hartmann, Paul Hawken,
Stephen Hawking, Wangari Maathai, William McDonough, Bill McKibben, Wallace J. Nichols,
David Orr, David Suzuki, Greg Watson, Andrew Weil and James Woolsey.
