“A look inside the new eco-friendly Ann Arbor development to be featured on PBS”- Ryan Stanton

Film Description: Companies and organizations are increasingly leading the way to a United States economy driven by renewable energy and sustainability. In this series comprised of short documentaries, CEOs and upper management at a variety of companies, non-profits and government agencies will present their science based solutions and visions for the future. We also focus on young leaders that are making those visions of the future a reality. They will present the challenges that lie ahead, and how they are endeavoring to solve big problems and make a difference through their work. Government can set the policy agenda, but for real change to occur the private sector must be incentivized and fully engaged. Companies and organizations are in a unique position to innovate and have a significant impact in a shorter time. An educated and motivated work force is a critical part of affecting change from within every industry. We want to infuse this series with a sense of hope to empower all people, and instill in them a call to action to join the country's move toward a more sustainable future.

We will also be screening one of the One Earth Young Filmmakers winning films A Dark Future by Riley Adler, Curran Randhawa, Dylan Wilson, and Janelle Lim.

Stay after the film for an enlightening facilitated dialogue with relevant experts and advocates.
