It is time for us to save our planet from ourselves. On Aug. 5, First Friday Films offers Home, a film that exposes the impacts of mankind’s actions on our planet Earth. With breathtaking visuals taken from an aerial perspective, we can look down at what has become of Earth and what we can do to save it from the threats of global warming. The journey starts at 6:30pm at the American Memorial Park Visitors Center.

There is no place like home—and that is especially true when “home” refers to our planet. With stunning shots from over 50 countries, Home presents what Time magazine hails as “an intoxicating perspective on our world” showcasing the majestic beauty of the planet as well as the undeniable tragedy that we have caused it. Director Yann Arthus-Bertrand hopes that with this stark presentation of Earth, the film will resonate in all of us and convince us to save our home.

First Friday Films is a monthly environmental film series organized by the National Park Service and the Division of Environmental Quality.

As always, First Friday Films is free and open to the public.
