Wake up call!..
6 June 2009
It's really sad to see so few votes about something that was done by the people who actually feel responsible about our "home" planet Earth. Especially considering the effort it took for the ones who made this wake up call. I would love to be hopeful about the future of us humans. But the ratings on IMDb imply so much about how aware we are about what we've been doing to our home. This documentary was significantly meant to be on all around the world, in 90 different countries, the same day, the 5th of June, which happens(!) to be "World Environment Day".

The purpose was basically to reach as many people as possible all around the world. Many things were done for the same call. But to be honest it's hard to say a lot has changed. For the ones who want to see it is in front of our eyes that our planet is responding to the things we've been doing, and the way we're dominating every living thing with the planet itself. But hey! We are nothing old compared to the planet's age. Our planet is 4.5 billion years old. It's seen lots of species before us. Some of them were wiped out. Not because they ruined the planet's own cycle. But because it is an ever-changing journey in a massive time scale. But we humans actually started a new geological era with the things we've been doing, effecting the very environment that created us. This documentary tells us "the story of us" leaving the ending for us to conclude. And to be aware -as Dr. Iain Stewart once said- that "planet Earth doesn't need to be saved. Earth is a great survivor. It's not the planet we should be worrying about. It is us". But the end is near. I think no one will deny it when it happens. I just hope people actually wake up, and start saving "us". Watch this documentary, people! And tell people to watch it. Because it is for all of us. Including the things we love. Thanks to everyone who took part in making it.
