Do you also perceive Earth as a collection of individual countries with artificial borders and divisions between races and religions? Then it is time to shift your perspective. It is time to think of Earth as a world united beneath a blanket of blue and white life-preserving atmosphere. It is time to act.
The Planetary Collective, a group of filmmakers, visual media creatives, and thinkers who work with cosmologists, ecologists, and philosophers to explore some of the big questions facing our planet today, documented astronauts talking about Overview Effect, the awareness that Earth is indeed a fragile ball floating in space with all life on its surface completely interconnected, in a powerful film called Overview released in December 2012.
Now, they’ve expanded that film into Planetary, a documentary released on April 22, Earth Day.
“We have forgotten the undeniable truth that everything is connected. Planetary is a poetic and humbling reminder that it’s time to shift our perspective. Planetary asks us to rethink who we really are, to reconsider our relationship with ourselves, each other and the world around us – to remember that: we are Planetary,” says an overview of the film on Vimeo.
The film features interviews with astronauts Ron Garan and Mae Jemison as well as environmentalist Bill McKibben, Buddhist spiritual leader Ogyen Drodul Trinley Dorje and other big thinkers who examine what it means to be a resident of Earth.
Looks good, we are oneness indeed. With our wallets & actions we can build or destroy these corporations by moral choice & decisive decisions.
I really liked the documentary film “I am” (2010) please go & check that out also.
Thanks, I’ll do 🙂
Recently I’ts hard for me to find a good movie to watch, but films like this one get me really excited.
I really, really liked Interstellar and Ex_Machina. They make you ask yourself some important questions while also giving an powerfull message.
I will totally check it out, thank you! I also agree with you. I am frightened by people who say: “We can do nothing about it. Let it go.” Of course you can do something about it, you just have to put your mind to it.
I suggest watching “Citizenfour” if you haven’t seen it yet. It is a documentary about Edgar Snowden and it offers you the possibility to create your own view on freedom and justice.
Seems a bit new-world-orderish to me
Do you think the world order as it is works? We need to shift our perspective and come together as a collective species. Human Beings on this pillaged and diseased planet from every walk of life deciding to care more about our neighbors well-being rather than the new line of Jordan’s coming out made in sweatshops. It is so simple, yet so terrifying to make this shift.
Very, New World Order, take down the imagenary borders give us one belief system call us one planetary nation take away our cultures and traditions give us one language (engsog) Who Would Rule This Big Blue Plant? yes I believe we are all connected as people but rule and devided by our governments it is our governments that are destroying our planet not its people to be rule by one government would be the scariest thing I could imagine.
