The place we call HOME

In conjunction with World Environment Day, HOME, a one-and-a-half-hour documentary directed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, was released simultaneously worldwide yesterday on the 5th of June in theaters, Internet, DVD and TV. In Malaysia, GSC screened this movie free for the whole day yesterday.

So, what is this documentary about? Basically, it shows us the earth, wonderfully and magnificently created by God and what we humans have done to it. 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's too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely 10 years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its exploitation of the Earth's riches and change its patterns of consumption.

This documentary brings us unique footage from over 50 countries, all seen from air. I highly recommend all of you to watch it. Not only does it open our eyes to what we have done, but we can also see the beauty of our Earth created by the hands of our Father. That's not all, we can increase our knowledge through this video, especially for those of us who study science.

If you didn't catch the release of HOME yesterday, you can watch it here in YouTube. I know it might take quite a long time to load the video (I think this would be the longest video ever on YouTube) but it's really worth the time. So what you waiting for? Go watch it!
