In 200,000 years of existence, man has upset the balance on which the Earth had lived for 4 billion years. Global warming, resource depletion, species extinction: man has endangered his own home. But it is too late to be pessimistic: humanity has barely ten years left to reverse the trend, become aware of its excessive exploitation of the Earth's riches, and change its consumption pattern.
In a few short decades humanity has completely upset the balance of the planet, created by more than four billion years of evolution. We are paying a high price, but it is too late to change this? Humanity has had ten years to reverse this trend. To realize the extent to which it has damaged the Earth, and to change its consumption patterns. Yann Arthus-Bertrand shows us pictures from more than fifty countries, laying the foundation stone for the building that we should all build together.
Algeria from above is the first documentary made entirely from the sky on Algeria. Through the eye of the famous Yann Arthus-Bertrand this documentary vividly depicts this great country, and its vibrant cultural and natural treasures. From North to South and from West to East, it shows us the entirety of Algeria, lives in the large hectic coastal cities, Atlas mountains, oases of the Sahara or gentle hills of the Sahel. With a rich past that seems to have crossed all civilizations, and a territory where all natural environments amalgamate, Algeria appears here in all its diversity and its unity.
