Stay Home to Watch HOME This Weekend

Lots and lots of people have been talking--raving, in many cases--about the documentary HOME. I planned to wait until I'd watched it myself to post about it, but given that time got away from me, and the chance to view it online for free is almost up, I'll have to change my plans--I want to be sure you get to see it too. You have just until June 14, this Sunday, to catch it online for free at YouTube (I assume it will be available all the way through Sunday, but I'm really not clear on that detail).

From the synopsis:

In 200,000 years on Earth, humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high, but it is too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth's riches and change its patterns of consumption.

Whether via Twitter, Facebook, or blog posts, every person I've seen report back on this film has been wowed. Everyone has remarked on how stunning it is, and just about everyone has pleaded with everyone else to watch too. So that's what I'll be doing tonight or tomorrow.
