Magnificent! When I read that Yann is making a movie about our planet I thought that he will focus on capturing its beauty, but the movie “Home” does so much more. Besides showing the splendor of nature, of rainforest, mountains and rivers, it clearly points out the dramatic impact of the human population on our planet. The spectacular footage from 54 countries shows the scale of our cities, of energy consumption, farming and… degradation.
From belugas in the Arctic to skyscrapers in Dubai. From glaciers in Himalayas to devastated Easter Island. The images of the Earth captured from above are breathtaking. And the scale of the challenge that lays ahead of us is breathtaking as well. We have 10 years left to change the way we live – to change technologies, economy, governance and above all the consumer culture. There is no technological fix that will do the trick of changing our habits and choosing more sustainable lifestyles. We have to do it on our own.
From its premiere the movie is free for watching. It’s aim is to inspire and to mobilize as many human beings on the planet as possible. So, make yourself a cup of tea or coffee and set out for the journey across the globe. You can watch the whole documentary here:
