"That's kind of the point of making the film. I've made a bunch of films on this subject and having Leo as a messenger of peace for climate change, which he is and it's kind of our jump off point of the film when he becomes a messenger for peace for climate change will hopefully make people get it and then when you see the film you're going to be freaked out a little bit about what's really going on because we present facts. There's no fiction, this is real."

"Well the film points out some things. Number one, we release the film now because people need to vote for people in office in the government who really take this issue seriously but also little things that you do in your life, your diet, like you'll learn about beef consumption, you're going to learn about palm oil consumption, how that's really screwing up the environment what we're doing, what we're all doing in our daily lives."

STORY: 'Titanic' star Leonardo DiCaprio turned out at the Toronto International Film Festival Friday (September 9) to promote his climate change documentary, 'Before the Flood'.

A large number of the world's press were drawn to the red carpet of the Princess of Wales theater by an appearance by DiCaprio, and having so many waiting cameras thrilled the film's director Fisher Stevens.

"That's kind of the point of making the film," Stevens said. "I've made a bunch of films on this subject and having Leo as a messenger of peace for climate change, which he is and it's kind of our jump off point of the film when he becomes a messenger for peace for climate change will hopefully make people get it and then when you see the film you're going to be freaked out a little bit about what's really going on because we present facts. There's no fiction, this is real."

He added "Well the film points out some things. Number one, we release the film now because people need to vote for people in office in the government who really take this issue seriously but also little things that you do in your life, your diet, like you'll learn about beef consumption, you're going to learn about palm oil consumption, how that's really screwing up the environment what we're doing, what we're all doing in our daily lives."

DiCaprio travels the world in the documentary visiting areas affected by climate change from Miami to Beijing and meeting with scientists, politicians and activists.

However, on his trip to Toronto, he managed to speak with only two television outlets about global warming, giving the rest of the waiting press a cold shoulder.
