IIt is crucial for many people to see this film early, so it gets picked up around the country!

If you can't join us Sat., please make plans to see the film soon.

Leonardo DiCaprio's new film, The 11th Hour is a feature length documentary concerning the environmental crises caused by human actions and their impact on the planet. The 11th Hour documents the cumulative impact of these actions upon the planet's life systems and calls for restorative action through a reshaping of human activity. It features fifty of the world's most prominent thinkers and activists, including reformer Mikhail Gorbachev, physicist Stephen Hawking, and Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai.

The #1 drops people off at Broadway and the 3rd St.

Promenade, so they would walk 3 blocks north on the

Promenade to get to Monsoon.

The #2 and #3 drop people off at 4th and Wilshire, so

they would walk one block west on Wilshire and then a

few feet south on the Promenade to get to Monsoon.
