Every image shows the Earth’s treasures we are destroying and all the wonders we can still preserve. "From the sky, there’s less need for explanations". Our vision becomes more immediate, intuitive and emotional.
HOME has an impact on anyone who sees it. It awakens in us the awareness that is needed to change the way we see the world. (HOME embraces the major ecological issues that confront us and shows how everything on our planet is interconnected.)
Synopsis : In 200.000 years on Earth humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion yeas of evolution. The price of 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.
Home est le premier long métrage du photographe Yann Arthus Bertrand.
Le synopsis : En 200 000 ans d’existence, l’homme a rompu un équilibre fait de près de 4 milliards d’années d’évolution de la Terre. Le prix à payer est lourd, mais il est trop tard pour être pessimiste : il reste à peine dix ans à l’humanité pour inverser la tendance, prendre conscience de son exploitation démesurée des richesses de la Terre, et changer son mode de consommation.
