About the film (81min, PG)

An inspiring and rollicking journey through Europe, where eight children join Damon Gameau (That Sugar Film, 2040) to better understand the climate crisis.

Millions of children around the world are frustrated by the dire lack of action to protect the planet and their future. Given their youth, these voices are often overlooked and ignored in favour of older representatives. That all changes when director Damon Gameau invites 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 into the boardrooms of some of the world’s largest polluters and most influential companies. Together, Gameau and these children form a FUTURE COUNCIL; a child-led movement that inspires and empowers young people to lead, in order to advise and influence the world's most powerful companies on their decisions that impact nature.

Whakarongo

Why is poetry making such a huge come-back? I think it is because our souls need more than the shallow to absent meaning-making of mainstream media. Poems are a reminder of what we hold within us. I am honoured to feature this poem by Dr Art Nahill. How did I come to connect with Ant? It goes back to a conversation with a wonderful, wise wahine, Aphra Green. She suggested Dr Glenn Colquhoun as a potential speaker for a Goodlife event, to speak of his book, 'Holding the ACEs'. We did host that event, which you can read about elsewhere on this website. What a humbling reminder Glenn's talk was. You might even describe him as a bit of a, 'Gabor Mate of Aotearoa'. At his youth health clinic in Levin, he continuously, courageously, humbly, painfully - turns towards what so many of us want to - and have the privilege to - just turn away from. But, when we do, we all keep this world small, we perpetuate the disconnection that erodes our collective potential. He reminded us that, 'we need to stop growling each other. To stop pointing the finger of blame at other parts of the system, and turn our attention toward what we CAN do. We need to WITNESS. We can all make a difference if we choose. It opened something in the hearts of everyone there, we held space for something deeply vulnerable. It melted away performative public personas and we shared feelings, childhood stories, and felt the healing of being witnessed in those stories. Just coming together in a group, has a magical power unto itself. And we acknowledged ofcourse who was missing from that room. Which is something I'd like to address in 2026. Glenn shared with us that he was organising a 'hikoi for health' with his friend, fellow medical doctor and poet, Dr Art Nahill. And that is how I connected with Art and how his poetry came to be here.
