The documentary “Before the Flood” truly grabbed my attention. You may not believe in climate change; however, I do think it is important to be informed and aware of what your personal decisions have on the environment. The film follows Leonardo DiCaprio (newly appointed United Nations Messenger of Peace) as he visits the places where the effects of global warming are felt the most. On his travels, he met with Elon Musk at the Tesla gigfactory, Musk stated that if 100 of these factories were built it would be enough to transition the WORLD from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Change is possible, we just need enough people to believe in it and ultimately do something about it.

Unfortunately, I have not watched the documentary yet. The trailer alone is worth watching. In Saudi Arabia women; cannot drive, cannot travel without their husbands, and cannot dress freely. However, their voices have the chance to be heard. For the first time in history women can run for public office. This documentary follows the journey of three highly educated and passionate women. One candidate states, “I see it as an opportunity for women to stand next to men for once.” This to me was profound and truly gripping.
