Edgar Morin
Urban sprawl, extinct species, depletion of natural resources and global warming are all causes of deep anxietyÂ… Here to stay takes an uncompromising look at Planet Earth today, in all its beauty but also its scars and contradictions. This film illustrates the intricate relationship and contrasts between the miracles of nature and manÂ’s obsession in trying to tame them. Can we turn back the tide? What do we really want for ourselves? Featuring environmentalist James Lovelock, philosopher Edgar Morin and Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Mikhail Gorbachev and Wangari Maathai, the film doesnÂ’t try to impose a single point of view. Instead, it sets the stage for each of us to determine for ourselves the current state of our planet, with only one certitude : we are Here to stay.
