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.
