2040 - Film Festival 2019

Today was possibly the longest one on the schedule with a 3 movie day.  So after a big sleep and a hearty breakfast, I stuck on the raincoat and headed off.   First of the three was 2040 - where director/presenter Damon Gameau (of That Sugar Film fame) predicts how we can get to a future where we can have a healthier sustainable world and a future for his young daughter. 

Look it was all very earnest and noble and I get it - the world is screwed up and its all our fault.  I get slightly annoyed that many of these types of show seem to treat us middle aged folk and oldies like we are idiots and 20/30 year olds have discovered saving the planet all on their lonesome.  It would be interesting to see if any of the ideas presented actually come to fruition in 21 years.  3/5

Preaching just turns people off, I think.
