What's your response to this short film, created by Grammy-winning producer Fraser T Smith (Stormzy, Adele, Dave, Drake) and rapper Avelino as a clarion call to young people concerned about their future? The film unpeels the layers of a corporate event through seering glimpses of the very different experiences of those invited to and those catering/serving at the do. Aimed at rallying a new generation of climate activists, and galvanising us all, the film becomes increasingly intense as it unfolds the absurdity of corporate excesses and the horror of a situation spinning out of control. Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen ('12 Years A Slave') is executive producer, and it's directed by his protege Samona Olanipekun. Many of us will recognise Will Poulter ('Midsommar', 'Guardians of the Galaxy 3'), who says: “It feels like a much-needed element of the conversation that is being had around climate change and something that I think will also, importantly, spark action… A better tomorrow, to me, looks like a world where we’ve actively pulled together and there’s a greater sense of unionship between everybody who cares about climate change and wants to create a better future for emerging generations.” Greenpeace UK reminds us all of the power in numers: “When you look at the state of the world that older generations have wrought, oil companies partying like there’s no tomorrow, politicians watching as our house is on fire, it can feel overwhelming. But awareness and resolve to save our planet, to save lives and livelihoods, has never been stronger. People all over the world are incredibly worried about their future, but they hold enormous power. This film is a message of hope: that demanding a better tomorrow is not only possible, but critical". Your thoughts?
