Practical solutions to environmental concerns are addressed by film maker Damon Gameau, in the hope that his daughter, who will be 21 years old in the year 2040 will face a hopeful future.

2040 is an original take on turning the tide on environmental destruction. In it, Australian actor-director Damon Gameau explains that, for the sake of his 4-year-old daughter, Velvet, he’s going to travel the world meeting with experts in various fields to make the near future better for their adulthoods. Gameau also interviews children asking them what they want and hope for the future. Then he speaks to innovators and specialists in everything from micro-grid solar energy, communal driver-less transportation, and marine permaculture to the global need for educating girls and the importance of eating less meat and investing in regenerative farming. Using visual effects, set design, and make up, the film also shows how happy, productive, and green the future could be if we collectively embrace some of these innovations.

This documentary is an accessible, informative and optimistic look at solutions to the climate crisis. A hopeful look at what the future could be like for the next generation if the world embraces actionable steps to save the earth.
