Presentation of the documentary “7 billion Others”

7_milliards_autres_Visuel“7 billion Others” is a project launched in 2003 (and still ongoing) by Yann Arthus-Bertrand (who also directed “Home”) with over 6,000 video interviews in 84 countries. the directional principle is simple: listen to better understand and make sure that the experiences of some enrich the others. Thus, from the Brazilian fisherman to the Chinese shopkeeper, German artist to the Indian farmer, all answered the same questions about their fears, their dreams and their sacrifices, their hardships, their hopes, their vision of love etc. Other testimonies address development issues. These living portraits of humanity, always shocking and sometimes funny, allow us to discover what brings us together, unites us and differentiates us and invites us to reflect and act.
