Join People From Over 50 Countries For This Special Event...

http://www.youtube.com/homeproject

In honour of World Environment Day, watch Yann Arthus-Betrand’s film about the effects of climate change.

June 5th is World Environment Day. Join in on a major international event – the online screening of Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s brand-new film, Home. Bertrand is a French journalist, reporter, environmentalist and the photographer for the book Earth from Above. This full length film will be available for viewing online for free until June 14th.

The film is intended to raise awareness about the effects of climate change, the topic for this year’s WED. The film will be screened in over 50 countries, often for free, on all media – theatres, TV, DVD and Internet – to reach the widest audience possible.

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.

The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.

For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.

HOME has been made for you: share it! And act for the planet.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand
