Documentary · 2009
In 200,000 years of existence, man has upset the balance on which the Earth had lived for 4 billion years. Global warming, resource depletion, species extinction: man has endangered his own home. But it is too late to be pessimistic: humanity has barely ten years left to reverse the trend, become aware of its excessive exploitation of the Earth's riches, and change its consumption pattern.
The sides of Home
- Aerial footage from every continent
- Dried riverbeds, oil fields and greenhouses seen from above
- A commentary counting what two hundred thousand years cost the planet
Home is good for you if…
- you want ninety minutes of images you could never see from the ground.
- you like deltas, ice fields and herds filmed from a helicopter.
- you like being made to feel small by the scale of a landscape.
Home is bad for you if…
- you roll your eyes at a voice telling you what to feel about every image.
- you want someone to follow, and there is not a single character in it.
