"TEXAS DOLLY" WORKS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
25 May 2007
Poker legend teams with movie star to produce
environmental awareness documentary
The friendship between US poker legend Doyle "Texas
Dolly" Brunson and Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio has
blossomed into a partnership to produce an environmental
awareness documentary that is already receiving major
international publicity in the wake of former Vice
President Al Gore's campaigns to save the environment.
Brunson is putting the money up for movie star
DiCaprio's production, titled "11th Hour," a feature
length documentary that examines the state of the global
environment and suggests practical solutions for
restoring the ecosystems of the planet.
DiCaprio co-wrote, narrated and produced the
documentary.
"I know we'll be able to raise a lot of awareness for an
issue that plagues our world and could have devastating
consequences down the road if nothing is done," Brunson
said about the documentary.
Co-directed and written by Leila Conners Petersen and
Nadia Conners, "11th Hour" stresses the imminent danger
to the environment. "Global warming is not only the
number one environmental challenge we face today, but
one of the most important issues facing all of
humanity," said DiCaprio.
"We all have to do our part to raise awareness about
global warming and the problems we as a people face in
promoting a sustainable environmental future for our
planet."
The documentary is premiering at the Cannes Film
Festival as a "Special Screening, Out of Competition."
It will open for public viewing in the USA later this
year.
