There's no place like HOME

Mon 27 Jul 2009

BFF would thoroughly recommend Yann Arthus-Bertrand's latest film offering: HOME. The producer - famed for his stunning 'Earth from the Air' photographs - explains that a pre-requisite of the story was "not to fall into the trap of gloom mongering, which isn’t very stimulating. The film's message can be summed up by a paradox – we have never been so dependent on natural resources and yet we have never cut ourselves off from nature to this extent. We’ve gone dramatically astray in our choice of model and we have to change now." The beauty and the pace make it much more uplifting than other recent climate movies such as The Age of Stupid.

The film can be viewed for free online at www.home-2009.com.
