http://thinkpress.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/home-film1.jpg?w=358&h=222In 2007 French photo-journalist and environmentalist Yann Arthus-Bertrand began compiling footage for a documentary film about humankind’s destruction of the earth. Operating on a 12 million dollar budget, and after 18 months of preparation which included editing close to 500 hours of footage, Home was released in June 2009 in accordance with World Environment Day.

One of the most well-known aerial photographers in the world, Arthus-Bertrand used his skill to create a film that portrays the stark contrast between our earth’s breath-taking beauty and the awe-inspiring destruction which we are imposing upon it. Despite its stunning audio-visual content which would surely attract paying viewers, Home was made free for download since its release date and has over 4 million views on YouTube to date.

The English version which runs just over 1.5 hours can be viewed here in high-quality and is narrated by Glenn Close.
