Actress Kate Winslet is best known for her moving character as Rose DeWitt Bukater in the critically-acclaimed film "Titanic." She starred in the classic movie with Leonardo DiCaprio.

The stirring documentary, co-directed by Winslet's brothers-in-law, Ludo and Otto Brockway, explores the food industry's impact on the environment. The 45-year-old British actress said:

"What lies before us is the opportunity to make changes that will help our world prosper and thrive."

Winslet also discussed how the co-directors wanted to make a difference with their film, which saw them traveling to the Amazon Rainforest. On stage, she struggled to speak and appeared at a loss for words.

Her tears welling up, Winslet looked at her brothers-in-law and expressed how proud she felt for them for producing the film. Otto and Ludo are stepbrothers of her husband, Edward Abel Smith.
