FUTURE COUNCIL

Directed by Damon Gameau | 2024 | 81 min | Netherlands, Australia

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 for expressing these concerns has been to protest on the streets.

Director Damon Gameau (2040, That Sugar Film) takes 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.

Their bold, hopeful journey leads to the creation of a future council: young changemakers working with big business to shape a better world.
