TOMORROW Screens at Webster University July 21st – 25th

By  | 
    
TOMORROW screens Friday,  July 21st through Tuesday July 25th at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 East Lockwood). The movie starts each evening at 8:00pm.

In 2012, “Nature” published a study led by more than 20 researchers from the top scientific institutions in the world predicting that humankind could disappear between 2040 and 2100. It also said that it could be avoided by drastically changing our way of life and take appropriate measures. Shortly after giving birth to her first child, French actress and director Mélanie Laurent (Inglorious Bastards) became increasingly aware of the dangers and the state of urgency that her son will face in the future. Along with friend and activist Cyril Dion and their crew, she decided to travel the world in search of solutions that can help save the next generations. The result is Tomorrow, an inspiring documentary that presents concrete solutions implemented throughout the world by hundred of communities. From the US to the UK and through Finland and India, together they traveled to 10 countries to visit permaculture farms, urban agriculture projects and community-owned renewable initiatives to highlight people making a difference in the fields of food, energy, finance, democracy, and education. Their common ideas and examples make Tomorrow one of the most essential and unexpectedly inspirational viewing experiences of our time.

Michael Rechtshaffen of The Los Angeles Times writes:
“A forward-thinking take on addressing the demise of the human race, the French documentary “Tomorrow” swaps the usual handwringing doomsday prophesizing in favor of a decidedly more proactive approach.”
Edmund Lee at South China Morning Post says:
“Audiences from any culture should be able to learn from some of the potentially world-changing ideas paraded in this informative feature.”
Walter V. Addiego at The San Francisco Chronicle says TOMORROW is:
“An advocacy film that’s more vibrant than many movies with similar themes and focuses on some less common angles.”
