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

Pour moi, ce film est un appel a un réveil de consience citoyen. un cri d'alarme quoi car notre planète est aujourd'hui (c'est une certitude) en danger (changement climatique) principalement à cause de la 'gourmandise' des hommes.

les images prises du ciel sont d'une rare beauté mais en mème temps effrayantes.

comme on le dit dans le film, il ne nous reste que 10 ans à l'humanité de 'sauver' notre planete d'une catastrophe en devenir. d'ailleurs on commence déjà a en ressentir les effets (cyclones devastateurs, raz de marées, sécheresses, innondations, etc...)..

mais heureusement il existe des solutions et cela ne depend que de nous et commence d'abord par nous meme càd adopter un comportement citoyen (mode de consommation responsable, non au gaspillage d'eau et de l'énergie, tri des déchets etc...).
