Yann Arthus
Bertrand spent a decade making a photographic inventory of the Earth's surface. Though strikingly beautiful, he sees the pictures as carrying an environmental, rather than artistic, message. In this film he travels around the world, talking about ecological issues that motivate him. In French with subtitles. Director Cassie Farrell ; Executive producer Michael Poole
