MESSAGES Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Luc Besson
"This film was a project I had in mind for 15 years. Everything I have seen and learned while I was flying over the Earth has changed me. Today I want to share everything I learned. This film is exceptional and intelligent but, above all, very constructive. To give you an example: the important thing is that 50% of the forest has disappeared, but there is still 50%. What is important now is that we are 6 billion of intelligent beings who can act. Through the quality of the images and content, this film will allow people to understand that we all have responsibilities and that all we can act in our own small. As my friend Albert Jacquard said, "be aware that tomorrow is coming and that everyone can have an effect on it is specific to humans."

Yann Arthus-Bertrand

"I've always been a lover of the planet, and again I tried to show people its more beautiful through my films, Le Grand Bleu and Atlantis Arthur and the Minimoys. It was therefore natural for me to join Yann production of this fantastic project. "
