Summary
This was a short video surrounding the impacts that humans have on the earth. It highlighted the fact that people are in denial towards their effects on the earth, and that "people do not want to believe what they know"(1). Through a series of images Bertrand expresses the seriousness of the issues that our planet faces due to human ignorance and greed. Bertrand also touches on the release of his film titled Home, which is based on similar topics. The video shows Bertrand's efforts in reaching people by showing several videos from the 5000 interviews that he conducted around the world. Overall, the video gave a great introduction into the impacts of human life on the planet, and offered a positive message to those who are willing to listen and learn.
My Impressions
I felt as though this video was extremely eye opening. My impression of Bertrand is that he is a strong person who is able to share his message in an honest and open manner. The series of images in the video were stunning and shocking to look at, which made the message more powerful to me. I found that the statistics presented were distinct and showed the severity of the damage that we are inflicting on our planet. I was amazed to hear that 100% of the coral reef has the potential of being wiped out by or before the year 2050. I also found the interviews to be inspirational. It was incredible to hear from the man who said he had accomplished more in a wheelchair than he had with his legs, and it gives me the feeling that I can do more in my life. I enjoyed watching this video and learning about the impacts we create and the threats that the impacts cause.
