ACCLAIMED OUTDOOR MOVIE

The documentary film “Home” will be screened at 7 p.m. Friday in the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church on Main Street in Kennebunk.

Admission is free, but participants are asked to bring one item of nonperishable food for the York County Shelters Program.

The movie is about filmmaker Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s work creating a picture inventory of the world’s most beautiful landscapes, taken from helicopters and hot-air balloons. Founder of the Altitude Agency, Arthus-Bertrand has been making an image bank of aerial photography since 1994, when he began studying the state of the Earth through a grant sponsored by UNESCO.

“Home” is a film about the dangers human activities create for the planet, and the challenges humanity faces in fixing this.

Joe Hardy, a former chemistry teacher and co-founder of the Great Works Regional Land Trust, will lead a discussion after the film.
