Along with a free communi- ty fair at the Florence Events Center, the new documentary “Tomorrow” will be screened at City Lights Cinemas. “Tomorrow” is a film that offers optimistic solution, hope and a way forward in this vital and precarious moment in the planet’s history. The film shows how answers lie in a wide mobiliza- tion of the human race. Over the course of a century, dreams of progress have fundamental- ly changed the way we live and continues to inspire many developing countries. Today, we have become aware of the drawbacks and limits of such development policy. Environmentalists, sci- entists and ecologists urge the need to focus efforts to change the way we go about realizing “The American Dream” before something irreversible hap- pens to the planet. “Tomorrow” sets out to showcase alternative and cre- ative ways of viewing agricul- ture, economics, energy and education. It offers construc- tion solutions to act on a local level to make a difference on a global level. So far, no other documen- tary has gone down such an optimistic road. “Tomorrow” marks the beginning of a movement seeking to encourage local communities around the world to change the way they live for the sake of the planet. Tickets for “Tomorrow” are currently available at City Lights Cinemas or online at citylightscinemas.com. Tickets are $9 for adults, $8 for seniors and students, and $7 for students.
