Positivity, collaboration, elimination of hate - how do we get there? By more people like this guy standing up and making alternatives. Bravo.

Interviewers, please take note of this relaxed, intelligent and in depth style of interview, which reveals as much about the interviewer as the subjects film. It's never bombastic, critical or rude, but isn't afraid to point out where developments could be less viable. I could have watched these two guys talk all night, and it was oddly comforting.

You can do things though even on a low wage, recycle, reuse, sew, grow herbs to use at home, walk, etc, I do, and eat less meat.

I'd love to see the film, I'll Google it and find out more about it.

2040 should be watched by everyone-especially those who either don't believe in or don't understand global warming and climate change. This interview was a perfect description of reality and vision for our way of life, i hope more people take the sustainable steps forward asap

19:25 “We modeled a Darwinian evolutionary model to create a market where the best products survives but what we don’t discuss, it’s symbiotic framework. Shark that hunts the fish, evolve into something greater in numbers and strength, it would eat itself to extinction!”

Here in Wales, a large number of people have little or no access to land. So many have only a tiny garden and many no garden at all and so many live in cramped accommodation with nowhere for children to play outside. Yet we look out of our windows and see enormous numbers of sheep (10m vs 3m people) roaming free and luxuriating in vast acreages of pasture that cover most of our tree-depleted countryside. The government actually subsidises this economically unsustainable agribusiness (and provides subsidised fossil fuels) which provides income for a small sub-section of our society whose capital assets are many times that of the majority. Almost all of our non-animal food in Wales is now imported, we have a housing crisis and land prices are very high

The best BBC interview I have ever seen and I've seen some good ones.

We so so so need more solarpunk and hopepunk stories in all genres of storytelling and I am really glad one in the genre of documentary like this exists. 🥰

[MrTobster]

God bless you Damon Gameau for the film and thinking out of the 'box' and understanding what is better! Amen.

I got myself so obsessed with all this that I had to get away from it. I now live on a boat. We the normal people are blamed for everything. We are treated worse than animals.

[Jimmyvideo]

Good idea for a film, seems well executed too. Hope it will be available to watch soon.

Best eco film I've seen in a long while. Hard to think of another. Recommendations?

[MrPDawes]

Technology in our homes and lives need to be fully serviceable. We need to get away from the throwaway generation. Most technology fails in the most mundane and unserviceable way and we're forced to buy new. This is such a waste. My last two washing machines failed due to corrosion, a deliberate built in obsolescence which should be illegal. If the components in question were made from stainless steel, I'd still be using the first one I got. If they were modular in design, you could upgrade elements which either fail or offer better features.

I have seen this possibly on SKY Rialto in NZ
