How stoopid to be to believe the humanity can change and take care of nature. The mankind can't take care of themselves. Why this arrogance : we can save the planet! How arrogant to be to believe that crap?
This is a great film. It is a documentary assessing how we can manage the Earth in the next 20 years. He is an amiable (but committed) host, who takes us through the ways we can improve our planet and, it is structured as a "visual letter to his 4 year old daughter". He travels far and wide to gather his evidence and it is a well-structured "journey". I saw this film in a packed-out cinema in Melbourne (Australia) and we initially thought that we had come into the wrong cinema because there were so many children with their parents present. Asking the parent beside me, she said that she brought her children because they needed to know about this film. I can add that these children were indeed very interested in the unfolding story. It is not perfect, but it comes close, that's for sure. His presentation is quite innovative, and also engaging. Certainly an important documentary to see.
What an inspiring film, great to see such a positive perspective on our future for once :) Amazing work Damon!
We are inundated with predictions of dire conditions on account of climate warming. There are already many animals and other wildlife and flora which are under threat of extinction
It was great to see Damon Gameau's film, which demonstrated various ways we could improve this scenario.
My wish is that Australian parliamentarians could view this film also, then start to take appropriate action, instead of continuing to pursue coal mining, gas fracking, etc. Our water, food security and power would be secured.
I walked out of the cinema with a smile and hope.
Thank you, Damon.
The enjoyable idea of this film and the hope it inspires, should maintain interest. They don't tend to explain the various levels of corruption that we face before true change can be reflected. Fossil fuels is only one major obstacle we face in this modern society. The problem is the ignorance of the truth and the capitalism manipulating from the shadows. This documentary is more about the changes and doesn't wallow in the ugly truth. The key is the youth, and as one person who once saw the world heading in a terrible direction, I'm now quietly optimistic. Great research and unique doco filmmaking.
