WE ALL HAVE A DATE WITH THE PLANET

"HOME"

A monumental film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand
Yann says . . . "It's too late to be a pessimist "

[From WIKI: 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 on Paris champ-de-mars drawed 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 draw 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.]

A timely film on the eve of the Copenhagen Conference.
A discussion will follow after the 90 minute film showing.
