w documentary – Involve Yourself

Home

Home is a 2009 documentary by Yann Arthus Bertrand. The film is almost entirely composed of aerial shots of various places on earth. It shows the diversity of life on Earth and how humanity is threatening the ecological balance of the planet. The movie was released simultaneously on June 5, 2009 in cinemas across the globe, on DVD, Blu-ray, television, and on Youtube. Opening in 181 countries, the film broke the world record for the largest film release in history. The film was financed by PPR , a French multinational holding company specializing in retail shops and luxury brands, as part of their PR strategy”

This quote is from the Wikipedia article about the movie. To me this sounds like a big and important movie. But I have never heard of it until some classmates told me about it few weeks ago. Why? How come it has not been written about in the large newspapers in Norway?

After some quick research I found out that it was shown only in four smaller cities in Norway on the day of release (Lillehammer, Kristiansand, Arendal and Stavanger). Why? Have Norway lost interest in global warming? Is the world tired of caring about our planet?

I recommend you all to watch it yourself, if only to see the beauty of the Earth in places you didn’t know existed. Watch the movie here. It is available in Arabic, English, French, Dutch, Portugese, Russian, Spanish, Kurdish and German.
