Home – Yann Arthus-Bertrand

A big part of you guys must have seen this or at least heard about this amazing film/documentary by Yann Arthus-Bertrand: Home. This film was released on TV in a few different European countries last Friday and was made available on youtube here. In the UK, the film wasn’t shown on TV because it was said it might influence people’s votes in the European elections! I wonder why!? Beside the political and ecological message this documentary is astonishing due to the thousands of speechless shots looking like slown motion paintings and  illustrations. It’s not Yann Arthus-Bertrand first attempt to show us how our planet looks and unfortunately dies. Yann has always been passionated about nature and aerial photography and the beauty of the world. He wrote and published numbers of aerial photography books amongts them was the famous and staggering “La terre vue du ciel” (The Earth from above). Since 1995, Yann Arthus-Bertrand engaged a deep and thourough work about the state of our planet. 14 years later, one can say he accomplished his work and what a result: HOME. If you haven’t watch it yet and you’re amazed by the pictures above you should have a go and watch it…
