Tomorrow is a documentary that follows many inspiring and innovate people spear heading the future of sustainability. Directed by Cyril Dion, this film takes viewers to different parts of the world exploring these innovative solutions to the environmental challenges we face due to climate change. While the documentary covers various aspects of sustainability, its overarching message is one of individual empowerment and grass roots change.

The film highlights numerous examples of individuals and communities taking proactive steps to create a sustainable environment for them to live in. From urban farming initiatives in Detroit to renewable energy production in Denmark, Tomorrow showcases a diverse range of approaches to environmental stewardship and social justice. What sets this documentary apart from other literature on sustainability is its emphasis on practical, achievable solutions that ordinary people can implement into their community. One of the issues with climate change and sustainability is the doom and gloom echo chamber that surrounds it and this film breaks that mold by focusing on optimistic solutions and a belief that we can make changes to secure our future. Rather than dwelling on the dire consequences associated with climate change and environmental degradation. Tomorrow felt like a breath of fresh air emphasizing the power of collective action and showcasing real-life success stories, the documentary demonstrates that positive change is not only possible but also with reach.

Tomorrow also serves as a wake-up call for viewers to reevaluate this consumption habits and lifestyle choices. Through its interviews and statistics, the film encourages audiences to consider changing their lifestyle choices for the better and make meaningful steps toward sustainability and the impact they have on their community. The film is inspiring and thought-provoking however, many criticize its simplistic and optimistic tone saying it is overly idealistic, especially considering the magnitude of the environmental challenges we face. Additionally, the film could benefit from a more in-depth exploration of how environmentalism and social justice work together to create a better future, it felt as the film treated these as separate issues rather than a combine front when it comes to sustainability.

In conclusion, Tomorrow is a must-watch documentary for those interested in sustainability and environmental activism. It really addresses the issues that we face and some different innovative people working to prevent a dire future. From the classroom to field films like Tomorrow inspire us to make change and think of the next generation and the world we leave for them.

Documentaries about change for a sustainable future come in all kinds and shapes. Often they start with doom and gloom images of what lies in store if we don't mend our way toward sustainable behaviour, with a closing 'happy chapter'. Nothing like this in Demain / Tomorrow. It's overall tone is realistically-optimistic, showing a 5-themed search for examples of projects and persons trying to put into practice what needs to be done to ensure a resilient future for all of us. Especially its common-sense attitude helps the viewer to relate easily to the (young) film makers. It is quite lengthy (118 minutes), but absolutely worth your time. The score is well-chosen,with some appropriate texts songs by talented Swedish jazz/pop singer Fredrika Stahl.

Looks Interesting . Where can in watch this in india?

This documentary is made to show that, in our complex world, there are still things everyone can do. In that this is a success and it gives a good overview of the initiatives that are possible and that can give enough hope to people to do something. And it starts in stating the situation as I rarely saw it, which is highly praiseworthy.

Of course, it simplifies a lot, sometimes with solutions/alternatives contradicting each other, sometimes not fully convincing. Some of the (not really) innocent questions can be a bit heavy. I would also criticize the quality of the soundtrack and some images that in my opinion avoid some concluding sentences to resonate as much as it could have.

However, from its clear statement to good examples, it shows that overcomplexifying is generally a dead end and a nice justification not to act. Acting local has results. Trying is worth, already by the change of consciousness it brings. Local solutions won't clear everything but we can hope than from local personal initiative, to cities, it will go global at one point. Stating bad news as bad is necessary as the current situation still fails to be recognized for what it is. But that is not enough and people can just think that this is too much, that nothing can be done. However a small step is still a step and this documentary reminds that hope is necessary too.

This documentary takes a clear look at the shadow of the world, but chooses to remain hopeful, engaged, and joyful. Brilliant, engaging, and artful.
