Home: A film by Yann Arthus Bertrand

submitted by LarsaruS

1 decade 4 years ago

93 minutes long. (Greek subtitle hardcoded. I found a version without subtitles but it had a lesser quality video so I changed back again)
(http://vimeo.com/5703551 for those of you who can't bear the subtitles)

From Vimeo:
"We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.
The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.
For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distribuitor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.
HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.

From Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yann_Arthus-Bertrand)

"On Friday June 5, 2009 he released internationally his new movie, Home, a movie about the dangers human activities create to planet earth. On the night of the release many theaters offered screening for free and a giant open-air screening at the champ-de-mars in Paris drew 20 000 spectators. Beautiful aerial photography, an omnipresent music score and great post-production make this movie more emotional than most previous movies about the subject. The simultaneous TV broadcast of the movie on France 2 TV channel drew more than 8 million people. The following Sunday, at European Elections, ecologists made an unexpectedly high score and failed short of being France's second political party. Although the poll did predict that the ecologist would make a big score at these elections, they underestimated it widely. On the night of the elections, many political commentators expressed concerns that the movie screening may have had an immense effects on the results of the elections."
