Girls for Future (2021)
An inspiring story about 4 young front line activists, aged 11 to 14, from Indonesia, Senegal, India, and Australia. They represent the voice of a new generation directly affected by climate crisis and environmental degradation at their doorsteps. Senegal stands for the global water crisis, Indonesia for plastic waste pollution, India for the agricultural crisis, and in Australia we witness the fatal destruction in the oceans and on land through climate change. All of the girls have the resilience and courage to fight back and the power to imagine a better future for all of us.
