Description: Legacy – (2021) 1 hr. 41 min 

Narrated by Rock Icon, Sting, ‘Legacy’ is the “sequel” to  Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s documentary, ‘Home,’ narrated by Glenn Close. Ten years after ‘Home’, Yann Arthus-Bertrand looks back on his life and fifty years of commitment to his photographic art and the planet’s plight. It's his most personal film. The photographer and director tells the story of nature and man, beginning in the ocean when life first evolved, through the eons to the advent of humans. He uses a 24 hour day to describe the timeline of our planet, with biological life arriving at 10 am and humans evolving by 11:59 pm.  He also reveals a suffering planet and the ecological damage caused by man, with an invitation to all to acknowledge our roots in the natural world and to reconcile with nature.  He also proposes several solutions to the biodiversity and climate crises. Age appropriate from those in high school to retirees.
