$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')OME is an ode to the planet's beauty and its delicate harmony. Through the landscapes of 54 countries captured from above, Yann Arthus-Bertrand takes us on an unique journey all around the planet, to contemplate it and to understand it. But HOME is more than a documentary with a message, it is a magnificent movie in its own right. Every breathtaking shot shows the Earth - our Earth - as we have never seen it before. Every image shows the Earth's treasures we are destroying and all the wonders we can still preserve. "From the sky, there's less need for explanations". Our vision becomes more immediate, intuitive and emotional. HOME has an impact on anyone who sees it. It awakens in us the awareness that is needed to change the way we see the world. (HOME embraces the major ecological issues that confront us and shows how everything on our planet is interconnected.)

Watched it (on TV) and must say I was pleasantly surprised, the images are indeed great, and the text going with them is straight to the point, oil depletion included and provides quite a lot of figures.

Interesting to see that in the debate that followed (on french TV), the journalist focused the whole thing on GW, climate issues and water, avoiding almost completely the resource depletion aspect.

It really is a constant these days, saying "we must be cleaner on the environment is OK", saying "we are in fucking mess regarding resources availibility" is tougher ...

"What a Way to Go" so far is the only documentary that really tells it like it is as far as avoiding the trap of the "happy ending".

I think The Incredible Journey of Crude did a better job of describing the alpha and omega of the formation of oil vs. the releasing of CO2. That was the first time it really dawned on me that we are terraforming earth back to the harsh conditions that led to the creation of oil in the first place. It's kind of the "Twilight Zone" or M Night "aha" moment.
