About The Film

The documentary Tomorrow has won numerous international awards and has been called “required viewing for anyone wondering what they could do to pitch in and save the planet” (The Hollywood Reporter). Unique in its upbeat stance, the documentary focuses on successful solutions created by ordinary citizens in local communities around the world. “There are solutions,” says Tomorrow filmmaker Mélanie Laurent, “and if we give it everything we’ve got, if we join our forces and hearts, we can all start to change the world.”

More information about the documentary is available at Tomorrow-Documentary.com, and the full feature-length film is available for inexpensive view-on-demand at Tomorrow-Documentary.com/preorder-on-vod/.
