I loved the Movie 2040 by Damon Gameau. It’s really hopeful and shows us it’s possible to have a better future, the most important message today. I especially also like the focus to be on kids, because those are the people that will be living in and shaping the future. So watch this movie, show it to your kids and anyone who could benefit from a little more hope and Ideas!!

@Julian_1_2_3_4_5 I would be careful with calling it #solarpunk , the movie has a lot of implicit neoliberal assumptions and puts a lot of technosolutionist proposals, doesn't show a lot of communities.

It's a great introduction to the idea of not giving up though! I personally recommend the movie to people who have had no experience with hopeful climate fiction at all.

The company owning the movie is pretty hard to work with as well, we failed to get educational screenings multiple times :/
