A video by renowned film-maker Pierre Ellul draws attention to the need to protect Malta’s environment as public concern on rampant development grows.

It features Maltese children and families enjoying the countryside and the Mediterranean Sea, and the message is carried through the voice of a child who reminds viewers “the environment is not yours to destroy”.

Ellul released the video on Facebook on Tuesday with the words: “Our home is being wrecked by insatiable greed. It is not ours to destroy. It is time to act to save our home”.

Some of Ellul’s earlier work includes the feature documentary film ‘Dear Dom‘ that looks at how the former Labour Prime Minister influenced and shaped a country and a people.
