Just a quick post to mention a site I came across last week,
7 billion Others. This is a project launched by
Yann Arthus-Bertrand (author of
Earth from Above and the director of the fascinating documentary
Home) with Sybille d'Orgeval and Baptiste Rouget-Luchaire. The project is a collection of 6,000 interviews filmed in over 80 countries by about 20 directors who went on search of the "Others". Questions were asked of the participants to help find out what separates us and unites us. There is hours of footage on the site organized by theme/concerns of "Others" around the world. It's worth checking out.
"Today, we have at our disposal extraordinary tools
for communication: we can see everything, know everything. The quantity of
information in circulation has never been greater. All of that is very
positive. The irony is that at the same time we still know very little about
our neighbours.
There are more than seven billion of us on Earth, and there will be no
sustainable development if we cannot manage to live together. "
Yann Arthus-Bertrand
