“Without question, TOMORROW is absolutely the best and most creative film on the future of humanity and the environment”.
— Paul Hawken, author of the recently published bestseller, Project Drawdown, & CEC’s 2017 Environmental Hero
Please join us for the Santa Barbara premier of the new environmental documentary film Tomorrow. This optimistic film offers constructive and creative solutions to climate change issues in agriculture, economics, energy and education. Join us for this inspirational look at concrete solutions to help build a more sustainable future.
In 2012, French writer and activist Cyril Dion learned about a study carried out by twenty-two scientists from around the world that forecasts the extinction of multiple forms of life, and possibly a large part of humanity, by the year 2100. This news barely received any media coverage at all.
Convinced that spreading catastrophic news is not effective, Dion decided to explore, along with actress and director Mélanie Laurent and a small film crew, what our world could look like if we brought together some of the best solutions to date in agriculture, energy, economics, education, and democracy. What they found was amazing, and inspired a film...
Directed & produced by Cyril Dion & Mélanie Laurent, the Tomorrow film won the Cesar award for best documentary, and has been viewed by over a million people in France. The film has been released in over 30 countries, including the U.S. in April 2017.
Tickets: May be purchased at the event, the Lobero Theater ticket office downtown, or online (with additional fees)

New York Times Critic’s Pick & Review: Worried About a Sustainable Tomorrow? There’s Hope,
by Nicole Herrington, April 19, 2017.
“It’s refreshing to see concrete solutions at work, many of them at the grass-roots level. And the optimism of those countering ineffective politicians and big business is infectious. The filmmakers — the French actress Mélanie Laurent and the civic activist Cyril Dion — interview their subjects during an intercontinental expedition that takes them to Detroit and Todmorden, England, where urban gardening initiatives flourish; San Francisco, which has an enviable recycling and composting program; Normandy, France, where intercropping ensures that “each plant plays a role in the ecosystem”; a village near Chennai, India, whose decentralized democracy reflects the residents’ priorities; Copenhagen, with its renewable energy model and biking culture; and many points in between.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/19/movies/tomorrow-review.html?nlid=61520911&_r=0

According to Mr. Dion, this success is proof that optimism, fueled by positive can-do energy, can be a force for change.
