Watch THE 11th HOUR or be responsible for the end of the world...it's your choice!

THE 11th HOUR (playing Tuesday 4/22 at Alamo South Lamar) describes the last moment when change is possible. The film explores how humanity has arrived at this moment; how we live, how we impact the earth's ecosystems, and what we can do to change our course. The film features dialogues with experts from all over the world, including former Soviet Prime Minister Mikhail Gorbachev, renowned scientist Stephen Hawking, former head of the CIA R. James Woolsey and sustainable design experts William McDonough and Bruce Mau in addition to over 50 leading scientists, thinkers and leaders who present the facts and discuss the most important issues that face our planet. The film has countless high profile supporters, including its narrator Leonardo DiCaprio.



This show is brought to us courtesy of the fine people at Austin Green Art working hard to change to world and sponsored in-part by the equally fine people of Levelfield.

Tickets are $10, or you may purchase a $25 VIP ticket which ensures you have one of the best seats in the house!

Find out more about Austin's newest climate change initiative - Austin350! Born out of Bill McKibben's visit during SXSW, Austin responds to Bill's international climate change action 350.org, which focuses on reducing global CO2 levels to 350 parts per million.

The main environmental problem that Austin Green Art seeks to address is not EXACTLY environmental! To quote Bill McKibben, it is that "we believe too firmly that we, each of us as individuals, are the most important things on the earth." This cultural programming is driving the destruction of the planet.

It is perhaps only art that can shape culture, and without a cultural change, environmental policy and activism cannot stop the destruction of the planet. So, we call our mission 'The Sustainability Revolution' and we envision, inspire and manifest it.
