Trivia

The 2014 film 'Lucy' written/directed by Luc Besson, used many images sequences from 'Home' with permission. They appear early in the film, during the university lecture given by Morgan Freeman, and in some later sequences. See more »

Goofs

In the facts section, the text for the 7th fact reads "Every year, 13 millions hectares of forest disappear." It should read million, not millions. See more »

Quotes

Narrator: The cost of our actions is high. Others pay the price without having been actively involved. I have seen refugee camps as big as cities,sprawling in the desert. How many men, women and children will be left by the wayside tomorrow? Must we always build walls to break the chain of human solidarity, separate peoples and protect the happiness of some from the misery of others?
Narrator: It's too late to be a pessimist. I know that a single human can knock down every wall. It's too late to be a pessimist. ...

A masterpiece
6 October 2013 | by Sayasam – See all my reviews

Yann-Arthur Bertrand is known in France for being the best Earth photograph involved in ecology ever.

This movie is just beau-ti-ful.

You never saw the world that way.

You never knew there were so much diversity all around the Earth, so much things to see, so much beautiful creations.

And you never knew there were so much left.

A must-watch.

Wonderful scenes, really beautiful pictures of Earth.

Tip : there is a long-version.
