Home: The wake up call
This documentary is a one of a kind, not only it brings us a breathtaking high-definition view of our planet, it also makes a perfect suite to the lesson given by Al Gore as it is on the direct path of “An Inconvenient Truth”. Home is also a message that sets out to shift people’s perceptions, and incite us to act, concrete action on ecological issues is still too little, too slow but as says the creed of the movie: “It’s too late to be pessimist”.
“In a few short decades, humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high, but it’s too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the earth’s riches and change its patterns of consumption.
By bringing us unique footage from over fifty countries, all seen for the air, by sharing with us his wonder and his concern, with this film Yann Arthus-Bertrand lays a foundation stone for the edifice that, together, we must rebuild”
“The Benefits of this film cannot be counted in dollars, but in audience figures.”
