Movie edit for the documentary movie Home (extended cut, 2009) set to the Boards of Canada song A Beautiful Place Out In The Country (33 RPM). Human population growth went exponential a few centuries ago after 200,000 years of relative stability. This dramatic change was made possible by the new fossil fuel economy of the Industrial Revolution and rapid advances in medical science that freed humanity from previous constraints. People spread and multiplied and consumed resources at an unprecedented rate. Deserts grew, forests burned, and rivers died as many species went extinct. Fossil fuel-fed industrial monoculture destroyed biodiversity and petrochemical pesticides seeped into the rivers and seas. Farm animals were herded into vast concentration camps and fattened with grain for the global market. Billions of tonnes of carbon released into the atmosphere acidified the ocean. Atmospheric carbon that once made the planet a furnace had been trapped in the Earth by natural processes over millions of years. As humanity pumps vast quantities of carbon back into the atmosphere, they drive the planet towards several tipping points and sixth mass extinction. This is the critical decade. Global capitalism went into overdrive following the collapse of Communism in the early 1990s. China industrialized and soon replaced Japan as the second-largest economy. Mirroring Japan’s rise as an industrial power, China has come into conflict with the United States over energy supplies and is now building a strong military to strengthen its position in East Asia. Japan was allied with Germany and came into conflict with the West following the invasion of Poland. China is an ally of Russia and tensions have heightened following the invasion of Ukraine. Climate change further exacerbates the situation threatening global water and food supplies as the great powers slide toward World War III. Home (2009) is a French documentary film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The film is almost entirely composed of aerial shots of various places on Earth. The video montage shows the diversity of life on the planet and how humanity threatens the ecological balance. The concept for the documentary came from the director's book Earth from Above.
