Tomorrow is a hugely positive, affirming and inspirational film, exploring creative solutions in the fields of food, energy, transport, economics and education. It visits permaculture farms, urban agriculture projects, community-owned renewable projects, local currencies, creative schools, ambitious recycling projects.
It has been a huge boost to community-led projects, and is currently on release in 29 other countries, regularly receiving standing ovations, and leading to the formation of many new community projects. It is the perfect antidote to the current sense of global despondency. It also has a great soundtrack, which was released in its own right.

Dion and Laurent start the film by visiting Totnes, meeting Rob Hopkins and Ben Brangwyn of Transition Network. They also go to Todmorden to learn about Incredible Edible from Pam Warhurst, Mary Clear and Nick Green, and to Bristol to meet Mark Burton and Ciaran Mundy of the Bristol Pound. The rest of their journey takes them to places such as the US, India, Finland, and Denmark.
The UK rollout of the film will begin on the night of January 24th with simultaneous screenings in Totnes, Todmorden and Bristol, with Cyril Dion attending the Totnes event and introducing it virtually to the other screenings. After that, communities will be invited to arrange their own screenings, and to use the film to create big events to promote their work. The UK is the first country to use such a model for distribution. If successful, it is hoped that it could be rolled out elsewhere in the same way. The aim is to get this film screened in every community in the UK.
