Planet Ocean is a 90 minute 2012 documentary by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Michael Pitiot.[1] Can we imagine a film that would change the way people look at the ocean? Can we explain simply, to everyone, the greatest natural mystery of our planet? And lastly, can we help our children believe in a better and more sustainable world tomorrow? This is the triple challenge of a new cinema adventure signed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and editor- in-chief Michael Pitiot, who brings with him the scientific missions of TARA, a unique pool of researchers, oceanographers and biolo- gists from several countries. Thanks to its astonishing photography, the film takes us on a magnificent and unprecedented journey into the heart of the least known regions of our planet. The film narrates the most marvelous and also the most terrifying human experiences of our time. Filmed in extreme geographical conditions all over the globe, it describes the modern Odyssey of people who go out to discover their blue planet. The film is also a plea for humanity to respect the world in which we live. It serves a noble and universal cause that will be defended at the next Earth Summit, in Rio, in 2012. [2] rio+20 I have just watched this movie and consider that it is of the greatest importance that it should be mandatory viewing by every young person in the world. The future of our planet rests upon future generation, they must be made aware of the immanent possibility of the world as we know it coming to a horrific end. Current world governments are unwilling to act, is this due to greed, ignorance, fear of offending other countries, fear of voter backlash, who knows what else. The target age for children should be about fifteen years as they would best be able to grasp the message the movie presents. Everyone else should be given the opportunity to view the movie so that public outrage might goad governments into something other that empty words. Rio Earth Summit 2012 Principle 8. Reduction of Unsustainable Patterns of Production and Consumption To achieve sustainable development and a higher quality of life for all people, States should reduce and eliminate unsustainable patterns of production and consumption and promote appropriate demographic policies
