Michael Moore has produced a documentary about the godless alliance between large corporations and environmental movements. You are now on YouTube.
How green is “green” electricity? Why are billionaires and big banks suddenly so interested in non-fossil fuels? How serious should technology companies take when they claim that their energy supply is 100 percent self-sufficient?
Director Jeff Gibbs asks himself those questions in his documentary “Planet of the Humans,” found on “Earth Day” on YouTube., The link opens in a new window released where you can watch it for a month.
Michael Moore as producer
This was produced by the establishment’s main provocateur Michael Moore. He is known for his thrilling, strong, fun and up-to-date documentaries.
“Planet of the Humans” is a bit more didactic than Moore’s movies, especially since the documentation largely dispenses with his biting humor. But hardly anyone will be able to accuse Gibbs of lack of commitment.
Michael Moore has worked with Jeff Gibbs on “Fahrenheit 9/11” and “Bowling for Columbine”.

Diesel generators instead of solar panels.
When Moore is obviously conflicting, Gibbs likes to act as the indescribable niche reporter. This strategy sometimes leads to the most memorable moments in your movie:
For example, if festival organizers announce in favor of environmental protection that the entire event is solar powered, Gibbs sneaks behind the scenes to film diesel generators and speak to technicians.
They easily explain to you that solar panels wouldn’t even be enough to supply a single guitar amp with enough power.
Prominent environmentalists are reluctant to speak to Jeff Gibbs (right).

Or if you insist on the boss of a US automaker. USA, who proudly shows off her new electric vehicle, with simple questions until she says, “I think: coal is not bad.”
Depressing that of Trier
At its best, “The Planet of Humans” illustrates how large corporations use environmental movements to launder their image in public, leaving nothing but empty promises.
Thumbs down for Al Gore
The film does not shy away from attacking big names in protecting the environment. For example, the former vice president of the USA. USA And Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore is accused of sticking to his principles until a major bank takes out the checkbook.
However, a certain fatalistic pessimism runs through all the documentation, making some Lars von Trier movies directly compare to true family entertainment on Sunday night.
Gibbs doesn’t really offer any solutions to the many problems the film addresses.
Not escaping well: Al Gore.

Sadistic pleasure
However, if you feel sadistic delight in watching trained politicians and lobbyists in the media digging your own grave with inexperienced answers, you can certainly get something from “The Planet of Humans.”
