Showing solutions, telling a feel-good story… this may be the best way to solve the ecological, economical and social crises that our countries are going through. After a special briefing for the journal Nature announced the possible extinction of a part of mankind before the end of the 21st century, Cyril Dion and Mélanie Laurent, together with a team of four people, carried out an investigation in ten different countries to figure out what may lead to this disaster and above all how to avoid it. During their journey, they met the pioneers who are re-inventing agriculture, energy, economy, democracy and education. Joining those concrete and positive actions, which are already working, they began to figure out what could be tomorrow's world…
"It's fascinating how, as a species and as a culture, we are brilliant at imagining our own extinction. We make films about whether we'll all be wiped out by zombies or nuclear bombs or diseases or robots or aliens or little funny Gremlins or all sorts of things… we love those! But where are the films about us actually turning something round and... solving the problem? We don't really have those films… Human beings so ingenious and so creative, we could do extraordinary things, but for that we need to tell ourselves those stories. Having a vision, telling a story, is like throwing a whirlpool in front of you that draws you towards it." Rob Hopkins
To tell this story, the team went to 10 countries: France and Reunion Island, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, India, Great-Britain, United States, Switzerland, Sweden and Iceland.
