Yann Arthus-Bertrand , photographer, journalist, environmentalist and film-maker, known for his book (& later 8 hour TV documentary) of aerial photography, Earth from Above (2004) , and the film Home (2009) , has been working on another grand project for the past two years. Human , which will be released in September, returns to Earth (Arthus-Bertrand has been nicknamed a ‘helicologist’ for his extensive use of helicopters) to interview 2,000 people from all around the world. Once again, the project is supposedly free of copyright and is financed by a large foundation (Fondation Bettencourt Schueller) which is undoubtedly philanthropic, but whose sources of income could be questioned by the more right-on (e.g. Oréal heiress Liliane Bettencourt and her Nazi collaborating fascist husband).

Looks like it might be interesting though—a clip on the French News included a woman having a rant at us first-worlders. I was pleased to see someone saying “Goidé mar atá tú?” in this promo “Hello World” video too.
