WHAT:  Film Night:  HOME

WHERE:  Allegany College of Maryland, Zimmer Theatre, 12401 Willowbrook Road  Cumberland, Maryland

WHEN:  Monday, February 25th, 2013 (7pm)

In the past 200,000 years, humans have upset the balance of planet Earth, a balance established by nearly four billion years of evolution. Through visually stunning footage from over fifty countries, all shot from an aerial perspective, Yann Arthus–Bertrand shows us a view most of us have never seen. He shares with us his sense of awe about our planet and his concern for its health. With this film, Arthus-Bertrand hopes to provide a stepping-stone to further the call to action to take care of our HOME.

HOME is the first film that has been made using aerial-only footage. The film marks artist-activist Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s feature film directorial debut.  After the film there will be a paneled discussion as well as lots of info and opportunities to meet local organizations who are working with these issues.
