"HOME : UN FILM EVENEMENT

HOME est un film réalisé par Yann Arthus-Bertrand, coproduit par Elzevir Films et EuropaCorp (la société de Luc Besson) et soutenu par PPR.
HOME est un long-métrage composé d’images aériennes tournées dans plus de cinquante pays dans le monde entier. Une voix-off propose une prise de recul constructive sur les grands enjeux environnementaux et sociaux de notre monde.Une sortie mondiale du film est organisée par EuropaCorp le 5 Juin 2009, journée mondiale de l’environnement, dans tous les pays au cinéma, à la télévision, en DVD et sur Internet. Cette diffusion mondiale simultanée a pour objectif de le faire partager au plus grand nombre.
Participez et agissez, "Watch this movie !"

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.
HOME est un film compensé carbone.
J'aimerais que ce film devienne aussi votre film. Partagez-le. Et agissez.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand

Severn Suzuki - Environmental Activist

Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been active in environmental and social justice work since kindergarten. At age 9, she started the Environmental Children’s Organization, a group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They were successful in raising enough money to appear at 1992’s Rio Earth Summit, and 12-year-old Severn delivered a powerful speech which gained worldwide attention. For this she received the UN Environment Program’s Global 500 Award at a ceremony in Beijing, China.

See the video of the speech delivered by Severn Suzuki at the 1992’s Rio Earth Summit here.

As a member of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan’s Special Advisory Panel, Cullis-Suzuki brought a document called the Recognition of Responsibility to the UN World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa. The trip also was the subject of a documentary film that aired on CBC’s long-running documentary series The Nature of Things.

Cullis-Suzuki has spoken worldwide on the necessity of redefining our values, acting with the future in mind, and listening to children. She co-founded the Skyfish Project, an Internet-based think tank that encourages youth to speak out for their future and adopt a sustainable lifestyle.

Cullis-Suzuki has completed a Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Yale University, and more recently, a Masters in Ethnobotany from the University of Victoria, British Columbia.
