FUTURE COUNCIL

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 children on an epic adventure across Europe in a school bus powered by biofuel. 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 largest polluters and most influential companies.

This inspiring and rollicking journey, where ‘School of Rock’ meets ‘An Inconvenient Truth, results in the children forming a ‘Future Council’ to advise and influence the world's most powerful companies on their decisions that impact nature.

Participating schools will be provided with welcome resources that empower children by showing them that there is a way to influence and advise local councils, corporations and government policy on the decisions that negatively impact our natural world.

Participating schools will also have access to a pre-viewing webinar and a post-viewing Teachers Take-Away resource (recommended for Years 5 to 9) with suggested post-film activities for the classroom. 

Included in the educational materials is a special invitation for teachers and students to register their interest in being the first to find out about opportunities to get involved and join the Future Council.
