About “Tomorrow”
The documentary “Tomorrow” takes a different approach to discussing sustainability by showing stories of creative solutions by communities that creates a sustainable and just way of life. It has a very positive and affirming outlook and discusses five themes – agriculture, energy, economy, democracy and education. The documentary shows a journey of its co-producers/co-directors through permaculture farms, urban agriculture projects, community-owned renewable projects, local currencies, creative schools, ambitious recycling projects, etc.
