Q: When did you decide to get this picture into motion?
Leo: It really started some 10 years ago. It’s a 10 years process to be part of this movement. I started with two shorts about global warming that are on my website, with the same filmmakers . But I really wanted then to make a film of 1h 30m and hire the best experts on this subject, from around the world. I didn’t want myself to be the star of the movie, but them to be on the forefront of this picture. I also wanted to know, on a personal level, what we can do to save our planet. I was curious and this is why I made this film. It’s also to show how the media has a profound effect on the public and can change the way the public think about such a subject. Hopefully this film achieves its goal to raise the awareness about this dramatic situation.…
Kenny: Well, for me it started with my parents. My father was a teacher and during the summer we would spend 3 months in the countryside and be lose in nature for that period of time, with my baseball bat and my bicycle. So nature became my church basically. Later on I suffered of a stroke and found out it was due to environmental poisoning, from chemical poisoning. And so I started to learn about the subject and educate myself. Over time it grew as a passion and then I dedicated my life to saving nature.…
Q: The movie shows how we are all deeply inter-connected, how an individual has to raise his level of awareness and how leaders have to affirm their vision and power to save our planet. How do we make things get better? How do we change the way people think and act?
Leo: It’s a great way to put! The truth of the matter it’s first about personal action and giving the good example. We need to live in a more responsible and caring way. We need to endorse new technologies that can clean up our act, clean up the environment. As consumers we need to be prudent about what we buy. It’s also important for the right people who are going to make the right choices and pass the laws to protect our planet and change the ways things are done today. This would be a wonderful world to live in if our leaders would take action and endorse green technologies. It would be great if we didn’t have to fill up our gas tank with foreign oil but a better energy that’s also can be good for the economy besides protecting the environment.
Kenny: This film is important because it’s a brilliant piece of education that is very moving. In America we get 90% of our information through the media, so this is important to have that type of film in the media-space offered to the public. It can really change the way people think and therefore act….
Q: Talking about acting, when are we going to be able to vote for you when you run for the senate, or congress or even the Presidency?
Leo: Not anytime soon!
Kenny: I’m running away from office…
Q: Well, thank you guys and keep on the green work growing!
Jude: You bet. Thank you for your support.
