Home (2009) by Yann Arthus-Bertrand: Aerial Perspectives on Earth's Fragility


Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s Home (2009) presents a visually stunning journey across the globe, highlighting the delicate balance of Earth’s ecosystems and the pressing need for sustainable living.

HOME 2009, a Documentary film directed by Yann Arthus Bertrand, is about Earth, humanity, nature, where we’re going, and what we’ve been. Aerial footage from 54 countries depicts how Earth’s problems are all interlinked due to the pressure humanity has placed on the environment and the consequences of climate change. 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 threatens its ecological balance.

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change how we live, and 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 participate 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.
