(1st of three)
Conservation International has a new campaign, "Nature is Speaking." Celebrities like Julia Roberts and Harrison Ford donate (or not) their skills. They have probably never acted the part of an inanimate object before, but they do now in very short videos - objects like trees and oceans.
All the videos end with: "Nature doesn't need people. People need nature." Right, we all really do depend on nature for air, water, food, and much more.
But this is a little different from other nature films. The tone is not cheerful, not fun, not refreshing - it's menacing. "Mother Nature" in her Julia-Roberts-voice says, "I have fed species greater than you and I have starved species greater than you." Delivered with a slightly eerie sound track, that could be a threat.
