About the film
Millions of children around the world are frustrated by the dire lack of action to protect the planet and their future. Until now, their only avenue to express these concerns has been protesting on the streets. Director Damon Gameau (2040, That Sugar Film) invites eight passionate, curious, and very funny children on an epic adventure across Europe in a school bus. Their mission is to better understand the planet’s predicament, explore solutions and, most importantly, take the conversation from the streets, into the boardrooms of some of the world’s most influential companies.
This inspiring and rollicking journey results in the children forming a Future Council to advise and collaborate with the world's most powerful companies. It is a coming-of-age journey that dares to imagine a brighter future.
But this is more than a film.
The Future Council is a child-led adult-supported movement that inspires and empowers young people to lead. Supported by trusted adults, it helps establish Future Councils in schools around the world – and connects those councils together – supporting a community of brilliant young leaders and changemakers.
The Future Council provides resources, trusted knowledge and pathways for action to its global community.
It also facilitates collaboration with businesses so the council members have input on sustainable initiatives and co-design regenerative products that benefit their future.
Youth isn’t wasted on the young if we listen to them and empower their ingenuity.
