On June 5, 2009, a new movie, Home, will be released that will show our beautiful home through amazing documentary films by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. For the first time ever, a movie will be released simulatenously in 50 countries, and will be free to download fromYouTube. Clearly, the intend of the movie and its producers is to spread as far and wide as possible, and thus to help save humanity from a catastrophe that will occur in case of inaction.

And action is best activated by showing the beauty and wonder of our home; and the extent of its destruction. It took about 4 billion years for life to evolve to todays beauty; we have about 10 years left to ensure that the human species can keep enjoying this beauty for many generations to come. (more…)

A wonderfully inspiring movie on how the world could look like if we acted in time.

In response to the last movie we showed to you, here a movie that looks at the climate crisis with a more optimistic eye. The movie was made before the election of president Obama.

You can watch the 5-minute Video here. It is absolutely worth your time, I promise!

Who on earth likes to go to the movie and get depressed? Right. Me neither.  But what about a combinations of depressing news, with eye-opening frankness, amazing insights that we all really should have thought of long ago, and a new realization about the immenseness of human stupidity? Ok, actually, that doesn’t really sound too much fun, either. Never mind that.

Just forget any description you read, and any hesitation you might feel.

Just watch it when you get the chance. Or - even better - don’t wait for the movie to come to you.  Try your best to get the movie into your theaters. Now.

The Age of Stupid. (more…)

I am at a loss for how to even begin to express the treasure I’ve found in the past couple of days.  It is something so vital to the effort to save humanity from its own ’success’ that I have decided to attach myself to the effort to promote this amazing documentary.  It is called The Age of Stupid.  I will provide links below to the website for the film, specifically to the page with trailers, and encourage you to whet your appetite in advance of the film’s actual release, which will come as early in 2009 as the people behind the film can negotiate.  (more…)
