“2040,” Special to the Daily
“2040” is an inspiring documentary posed as a visual letter to the 4-year-old daughter of the film’s director that looks at the question: “What do we want our world to look like in 2040?” Director Damien Gameau set off to explore what the future could be if we widely embrace and adopt environmental solutions that already exist.
Using the stories of individuals in New York, “The Hottest August” offers no concrete solutions to climate change, or even details the exact problems; instead it offers each viewer the opportunity to step back and to imagine what we want the world to be like and how we want to get there. (Special to the Daily)
Posing as a deep dive into the lives of regular New Yorkers, “The Hottest August” profiles one of the most diverse cities in the U.S. People from all races, ethnicities, classes and backgrounds call the city home. The city is a microcosm of the country; with people pursuing different goals, hopes, dreams and concerns in pursuit of a better future.
