Film on Demand: "2040"
An accessible, informative and optimistic look at a possible future if we embrace today's best solutions to the climate crisis. Free for Dartmouth students and Hop members.
Motivated by his 4-year-old daughter and concern for the planet she will inherit, Damon Gameau embarks on a global journey to meet the innovators and change makers pioneering the best solutions already available to improve the health of our planet and societies. Inspired by these discoveries and guided by the many children he consults with along the way, Damon interweaves dramatic sequences and high-end visual effects to conjure a positive portrait of what 'could be' instead of the dystopian future so often presented.
Aimed at a broad audience that includes children and their parents, serious information is delivered with irreverence and humour.
Programmed as part of the Energy Convergence hosted by the Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy & Society. This film is also programmed as part of our "Because Science" series, which explores how science, technology, engineering and medicine impact people's everyday lives.
