Juli 2009
På verdens miljøverndag, 5. juni 2009, lanserte den anerkjente franske fotografen Yann Arthus-Bertrand sin første film «HOME». 120 steder i 54 land er filmet i fugleperspektiv gjennom 18 måneder. Målsettingen er å vise hvor vakker og fantastisk planeten vår er, hvordan vi er i ferd med å ødelegge den og at vi må handle nå for å bevare den. Håpet er at filmen kan bidra til å endre levevanene våre, slik at også kommende generasjoner kan overleve her.
- Det jeg har sett og opplevd ved å betrakte jorden ovenfra har forandret meg for alltid. Mitt ønske med filmen er at verden våkner opp og ser hva som er i ferd med å skje med planeten vår, sier Arthus-Bertrand.
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. HOME has been made for you: Share it! And act for the planet.
HOME is an ode to the planet's beauty and its delicate harmony. Through the landscapes of 54 countries captured from above, Yann Arthus-Bertrand takes us on an unique journey all around the planet, to contemplate it and to understand it. But HOME is more than a documentary with a message, it is a magnificent movie in its own right. Every breathtaking shot shows the Earth - our Earth - as we have
never seen it before. 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.
In 200.000 years on Earth, humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high, but it is 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.
