The movie Home is Yann-Arthus Bertrand, (The Earth From Above),Francois-Henri Pinault’s (CEO of PPR) and Luc Besson's (Elzevir Films and EuropaCorp.) first collaboration.The documentary film is a non profit project about major environmental and social challenges facing our world featuring aerial images filmed in over fifty countries around the world.All profits for the film will go towards Goodplanet.org. The screening event at the Stella McCartney store will be hosted by an eco minded committee including Salma Hayek, Maggie Gyllenhaal & Peter Sarsgaard, Laura Dern & Ben Harper, Emily Deschanel and Anjelica Huston.About 200 guests will be invited to enjoy a garden summer picnic while watching the film outdoors.Reflecting Stella’s efforts to help protect the environment, as many as possible environmental friendly elements will be incorporated to the event.
