I can't believe this doesn't get more votes. Yann Arthus-Bertrand is one of the best photographers on the planet. This movie belongs to the "inconvenient truth" kind of call to humanity and it is free to download and watch. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014762/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014762/

  If it were a film about how Twitter is going to save humanity I'm sure this submission would be more popular.

  "The price to pay is high, but it's too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth's riches and change its patterns of consumption." now I'm curious, what happens in year eleven?

    Given current technology, the trend becomes irreversible?

  > This movie belongs to the "inconvenient truth" kind of call to humanity and it is free to download and watch. Does the world need more alarmist fiction? In other news, truth is not beauty.

  People have different views. I care about the environment/sustainability/energy crisis, but not enough get involved directly. I chose the tech field with that awareness. I realize that most people think developing the web is an afterthought compared to this issue — I don't. At the same times, I see myself as responsible for helping solve this problem in the best way I can.

  Can you explain what I'm supposed to be looking at? I've tried Chrome, FF3, and IE7, and all I see is giant Flash widget that draws a vertical blue bar, and then just sits there. Clicking doesn't seem to do anything. Either the site is broken, or this is some kind of "movie" that I'm not familiar with. Either way would explain why it's not getting as many votes as you think it deserves.

    You are right, the website is crapy and flash doesn't bring anything interesting. The film is copyright free, feel free to download it here: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4935263/HOME_-_a_film_by_Yann_Arthus-Bertrand_(2009)_%5BEnglish%5D_%5BHD_MP4%5D http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4935263/HOME_-_a_film_by_Yan...

The movie on YouTube isn't smooth so I downloaded the standard quality version which fixed the jerkiness problem. Mirror: http://planet.s3.amazonaws.com/home.mp4 http://planet.s3.amazonaws.com/home.mp4 (420 MB) Forget the HD version unless you have a wicked graphics system. /homeHD.mp4 (1.4 GB) choked my MBP and bounced an AppleTV.

Watching this movie makes me proud of my new business, whose focus is reforestation and funding education in underprivileged areas via philanthropic consumerism.
