What do indigenous farmers working on arid terrace fields in the Peruvian Andes, a self-taught Sierra Leone engineer and tinkerer, a Colorado student moved by the Flint, Michigan water crisis, a Vietnamese entrepreneur, a disability rights activist from Azerbaijan, and an Indian educator have in common? They each are working toward a better tomorrow: one stone, one solar-powered vehicle, one water test kit, one organic trash pile, one metro station, one school backpack, and one community at a time. 

Amid the worrisome reality of human-induced climate change and inequality, For Tomorrow (narrated by Daisy Ridley) is a hopeful documentary about human ingenuity and resilience in the face of local and global sustainability and equity challenges. Vietnamese American director An Tran and local film crews from around the world have joined forces to weave together the inspiring stories of grassroots changemakers from all walks of life across the globe, spotlighting ordinary individuals who innovatively address their local problems with the limited resources around them. This uplifting film – which premiered at New York City’s Lincoln Center during the 2022 United Nations General Assembly – shows us that solutions to many existing world problems are already in our hands, and that everyday people can enact meaningful changes. The seeds of possibilities are inside each of us. – Quan Tran
