In 2007, there was such a documentary to remind mankind of environmental protection issues. There are famous filmmakers, famous scientists, famous politicians, and experts from all walks of life. With the current epidemic raging around the world, we once again call on us to pay attention to this issue. As the film says, this is a major event that affects our children and grandchildren, so we can’t be careless.

The earth’s resources are limited. Our current development speed is a bit too fast. Humans have grown too fast, and most of the growth is in underdeveloped countries and regions, forming an upside-down. These are all issues that we need to worry about and issues that need to be resolved. 10 years have passed since this film, but the situation is getting more and more complicated and getting worse. What shall we do?

Everyone is acting, concentrating their efforts, for the present and future of the earth.

The 11th Hour quotes

  • Wes Jackson: It's not just global warming. It's not just fossil-fuel dependency. It's not just soil erosion It's not just chemical contamination of our land and water. It's not just the population problem. And it's not just all of those. - The deterioration of the environment of our planet is an outward mirror of an inner condition. - Like inside, like outside. And that's a part of the Great Work.

  • [last lines]

    Oren Lyons: What if we choose to eradicate ourselves from this Earth, by whatever means? The Earth goes nowhere. And in time, it will regenerate, and all the lakes will be pristine. The rivers, the waters, the mountains, everything will be green again. It'll be peaceful. There may not be people, but the Earth will regenerate. And you know why? - Because the Earth has all the time in the world and we don't. So I think that's where we're at, right now.
