　　Brief Synopsis:Why is the magnetic North Pole moving, and moving so fast? Paleomagnetism has taught us that the magnetic Pole flips regularly, going from North to South and vice versa, once every 250,000 years on average. However, the last inversion occurred 780,000 years ago! Are we on the eve of such a major event ?

　　During the switch, the risk is that the Earth will no longer be protected by the magnetosphere, which would have terrible consequences for both human beings and animals (who use magnetism to assess their whereabouts), for nature in general and for our technology-dependent societies.

　　The film follows Larry Newitt and Jean-Jacques ORGEVAL as they journey to France, Canada and Denmark to meet scientists from several disciplines (physicists, geophysicists, geologists, astronauts, marine biologists, paleo and archeomagneticians, etc.) in an attempt to understand, measure an explain the consequences of the forthcoming pole inversion.

　　Filmography:Director, writer, and director of photography, Yanick Rose travelled in more than fifty different countries in twenty years, from Latino America to Antartica, and from Asia to Europa, for clips, reports and documentaries. He filmed science discoveries, culture, adventurous ways of life and more, as far as corporate films, with promotional and interactivity purposes.

　　简介： 为什么北磁极会在移动而且移动如此之快？古地磁学告诉我们，磁极会定期翻转，从南极转到北极，反之亦然，平均每25万年翻转一次。然而，上一次反转发生在78万年前！难道我们正处于如此大翻转的前夕吗？

　　在磁极翻转期间，我们面临的风险是地球将不再被磁层保护，这会给人类和动物（利用地磁来定位的动物）、整个大自然以及依赖科技的人类社会带来可怕的后果。

　　影片跟随拉里•纽伊特和吉恩•杰克斯•奥热瓦勒的法国、加拿大和丹麦之旅，会见很多领域的科学家（物理学家、地球物理学家、地质学家、宇航员、海洋生物学家、远古地磁学家等），试图了解、衡量并解释即将到来的磁极翻转的后果。
