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/

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:

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 (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.

"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?
