Nous vivons une période cruciale. Les scientifiques nous disent que nous avons 10 ans pour changer nos modes de vie, éviter d'épuiser les ressources naturelles et empêcher une évolution catastrophique du climat de la Terre. Il faut que chacun participe à l'effort collectif et c'est pour sensibiliser le plus grand monde que j'ai conçu le film HOME. Afin de diffuser ce film le plus largement possible, il fallait qu'il soit gratuit. Un mécène, le groupe PPR, a permis qui le soit. EuropaCorp, qui en assure la distribution, s'est engagé à ne faire aucun bénéfice car HOME n'a aucune ambition commerciale. J'aimerais que ce film devienne aussi votre film. Partagez-le. Et agissez. Yann Arthus-Bertrand PPR est fier de soutenir HOME http://www.ppr.com HOME est un film compensé carbone http://www.actioncarbone.org Plus d'information sur la planète http://www.goodplanet.info Website: http://www.home-2009.com ( less )
