A Message from the Future II: The Years of Repair

Do we have a right to be hopeful With political and ecological fires raging all around, is it irresponsible to imagine a future world radically better than our own A world without prisons Of beautiful, green public housing Of buried border walls Of healed ecosystems A world where governments fear the people instead of the other way around A Message From the Future II: The Years of Repair is an animated short film that dares to dream of a future in which 2020 is a historic turning point, where the lessons of the Covid19 pandemic and global uprisings against racism drive us to build back a better society in which no one is sacrificed and everyone is essential. The film is a sequel to the 2019 Emmynominated short film A Message From the Future with Alexandria OcasioCortez, and features the art of Molly Crabapple, with the political storytelling of Naomi Klein, Avi Lewis, and Opal Tometi. The cast of narrators from around the world includes Tometi, Emma Thompson, Gael García Bern
