    Hope I don't get into trouble for posting this. It's a free film on youtube I found so I don't think it's illegal to link it.


    Interesting new documentary. Home is a 2009 documentary by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The film is entirely composed of aerial shots of various places around Earth. It shows the diversity of life on Earth and how humanity is threatening the ecological balance of the planet. The movie was released simultaneously on June 5th in cinemas all over the world, on DVD and on YouTube. Released on the same date in 50 countries is a world record for any film release in history. The film is 100% free, and no profits will be made from its release or future showings. NOTE: You can also view this on YouTube, which is pretty good quality (400MB Stream)

    The documentary chronicles the present day stance of the Earth, its climate and how we as the dominant species have long-term repercussions on its future. A theme expressed throughout the documentary is that of linkage; how all organisms and the Earth are linked in a “delicate but crucial” balance with each other, and how no organism can be self-sufficient.

    Yann Arthus-Bertrand? ScrewTube, I want to see this on a big screen - as big as possible. IMAX big. :cool:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Beautiful, depressing, hopeless. Left me with the distinct impression that a massive war with a couple of billion casualties would be the best thing for the planet.

    There was a huge simultaneous push on this film in France last year; free cinema places, discounted DVD/Rays (5e) and it was on broadcasted on TV too. We managed to get seat at the local cinema and it was incredible, very thought provoking and beautifully captured.
