In addition to the inspirational documentary 'Tomorrow', we're now also going to be live streaming the Operation Climate Vote - Launch Call with George Monbiot which runs from 6:30pm - 7:45pm so the main feature will start about 8pm (so there is a break between to get drinks and pop to the loo) and end around 10pm.

Tomorrow (Demain) (1h 58 minutes) - 2015


A globetrotting documentary that's more focused on solutions, Tomorrow provides a comprehensive look at ways in which activists, organisers and everyday citizens are trying to make the world a more sustainable place. Co-directed by ecological rights advocate Cyril Dion and actress-filmmaker Mélanie Laurent, this playfully made expose should be required viewing for anyone wondering what they could do to pitch in and save the planet.

TODAY, we sometimes feel powerless in front of the various crises of our times.
 
TODAY, we know that answers lie in a wide mobilisation of the human race. Over the course of a century, our dream of progress commonly called “the American Dream”, fundamentally changed the way we live and continues to inspire many developing countries. We are now aware of the setbacks and limits of such development policies. We urgently need to focus our efforts on changing our dreams before something irreversible happens to our planet.
 
TODAY, we need a new direction, objective... A new dream! The documentary Tomorrow sets out to showcase alternative and creative ways of viewing agriculture, economics, energy and education. It offers constructive solutions to act on a local level to make a difference on a global level. So far, no other documentary has gone down such an optimistic road...
 
TOMORROW is not just a film, it is the beginning of a movement seeking to encourage local communities around the world to change the way they live for the sake of our planet. 

Start small to grow big, and write a new story for the generations to come.
