If you are a human being living on Earth this documentary is for you... This is just the most beautiful, moving and sensational documentary I have ever seen. Beautiful for its aerial pictures from all over the world. Moving because Yann Arthus-Bertrand is an earthling talking to other earthlings about our home: Earth. We are all brothers living in the same precious place, our beloved planet. And you just can not help being touched by this common point we all share, the link with our land. Sensational because you learn a lot of things about how we, selfish and over consuming people, are tragically destroying such a wonderful place, result of about 4 billions years of evolution, and also how we can change things to build a better future.

Helpful perspective: 
 
"The concentration of carbon dioxide hasn't been so high for several hundred thousand years. Humanity has never lived in an atmosphere like this."

"Greenland's ice contains 20% of the fresh water of the whole planet. If it melts, sea levels will rise by nearly seven meters."
