The National Geographic and Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio broadcast that Before the Flood, the documentary film about the impacts of climate change, could be watched for free on YouTube till 12 a.m. on Nov. 8 (Tuesday). This is just in time of the presidential election.

Before the Flood is a documentary film about the intense effects of climate change that are being felt by humans and other creatures all around the globe. It exhibits stunning images of the climate cataclysms.

The film is starred by Leonardo DiCaprio, a U.N. Messenger of Peace and an environmentalist activist. He plays the role of a science journalist, who discusses and interviews researchers and innovators who are engaged in preventing the global catastrophes of climate change. These also include politicians, climate scientists, professors, farmers, islanders and even Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk.

Before the Flood begins with the statement of the U.N. Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, who says, "Planet Earth is just a small boat. And if it sinks, we will all sink together." The film covers the impact and influences of climate change from the melting ice sheets in the Arctic to the industrial pollution in Beijing and India, according to MNN.

Leonardo DiCaprio also explored the coral bleaching at the bottom of the ocean and witnessed the Indonesian palm oil. There are more to see and the film would serve as a wake-up call for the man-made climate change.

Dr. Michael Mann, an atmospheric scientist at Penn State, said that the film provides more revelation about the new aspects of the problem of climate change. He also agreed with DiCaprio when he said, "The truth is, the more I've learned about climate change and everything that contributes to the problem, the more I realize I don't know."

The coverage is somehow astounding yet alarming. Before the Flood shows the standing of the planet Earth and humans as of the year 2016.
