The film premiered in LA at the Egyptian Theatre on Monday, June 29, 2009.    

Remarkably, this documentary " HOME" released free for all to see and prevent the climate change.    For this feat, sponsorships were necessary and PPR Group was there to assist in any and all expenses.   The crew filmed for 217 days, which included shooting 54 countries.   All in all there was up to 488 hours of footage.   A film shoot for the world around the world.  

As guests filled the seats awaiting the performance, only the Director Yann Arthus-Bertrand knew how this film would open their eyes.   Yann Arthus-Bertrand the French Photographer known for his Earth from Above pictures moved by Al Gore’s " An Inconvenient Truth" set into action creating his first film.

"When I invited Al Gore to show his film, “ An Inconvenient Truth”, to the French Parliament, I realized just how much impact a movie could have, even more than a TV program. I saw how moved the audience was—to tears in some cases—and I said to myself that a feature film was an excellent way of reaching people," he affirmed at the global premiere press release.

Producer Denis Carot states at the worldwide premiere, "Home is a film with a message that sets out to shift people's perceptions, make us aware of the tectonic movements at work and incite us to act. Although there is a general trend in our societies towards an awareness of ecological issues, concrete action is still too little, too slow—which constitutes in some ways the creed of the movie: It's too late to be a pessimist".   He further explained the reasoning for portraying the film from the sky made the film more intuitive and emotional for the audience.   This is true as the film draws one into the scenery of disaster and the overwhelming urgency of the issues ensues one to act.      

The audience, gasps with realization as they  mortified by the disasters around the globe from climate change.

Visuals of the arable land ceasing from depleted water resources.   Statistics stating 40 percent of arable land exhausted in the past 40 years.   Forests grounded and bare with nothing green in sight as every dead plant wrapped the frame extracted for resources around the globe.
