A hopeful, urgent call for climate action in Future Council
From visionary Australian filmmaker and environmentalist Damon Gameau (2040, That Sugar Film) comes a powerful new documentary that dares to imagine a livable, thriving future—one driven not by fear, but by courage, creativity, and collective action.
In Future Council, eight extraordinary young changemakers board a school bus—converted to run on vegetable oil—and embark on a transformative journey across Europe. Their destination? Boardrooms and innovation hubs where the future is already being built. Their mission? To confront some of the world’s most powerful corporate leaders and explore real, practical, scalable solutions to the climate emergency.
But this is not just a road trip. It’s a reckoning. A movement. A call.
These young minds are not merely hopeful; they are inspired, impassioned, and empowered. With unfiltered honesty, they share their climate anxieties, question the systems threatening their future, and challenge the grown-ups in power to stop delaying—and start delivering. In doing so, Future Council becomes more than a film—it becomes a blueprint for how intergenerational dialogue, bold ideas, and moral imagination can help shift the course of history.
At a time when despair often dominates the climate conversation, Future Council offers something essential: hope grounded in action. It reminds us that change is not only possible—it’s already happening, driven by young leaders who refuse to accept the status quo.
This film invites you to be part of the solution. Whether you're a policymaker, a teacher, a parent, a student, or simply someone who cares about the world we’re leaving behind, Future Council challenges you to listen deeply, act boldly, and imagine what’s possible when we come together across generations and borders.
🌍 Watch the film. Join the dialogue. Be part of the change.
Because the future isn’t written yet—and together, we can still write a better one.
