Movie to drive 'home' environmental point

PARIS: World Environment Day today sees the worldwide release of a movie billed by producers as "the greatest green event ever", a high-budget documentary to save the planet directed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand.

From New York's Central Park to the Champs de Mars by Paris' Eiffel Tower, the French photographer known for the Earth From The Air books and Seen From The Air on TV, is releasing the green-awareness movie Home in over 100 countries simultaneously.

"More than a movie, Home will be a major event," the producers said.
