L'homme a mangé la terre

Apr 24 2019 N/A 1h 39m
Documentary

An account of the last two centuries of the Anthropocene, the Age of Man. How human beings have progressed so much in such a short time through war and the selfish interests of a few, belligerent politicians and captains of industry, damaging the welfare of the majority of mankind, impoverishing the weakest, greedily devouring the limited resources of the Earth.

Plot

It is still being debated whether humankind has changed the planet irreversibly. Today, progress is our raison d'être, an eternal promise of a better quality of life. But behind the impressive history of progress, there hides another one. It's a story written by powerful people: political leaders, industrialists, chemists, lobbyists and financiers of all kinds who, in two centuries, have shaped our way of life, up until the advent of a new era that carries within the seeds of climate change: the Anthropocene.
