In honor of Earth Day, The ShowRoom Cinema joins a handful of theaters across the nation debuting Tomorrow, the documentary transforming the climate change conversation.

Co-produced and directed by French filmmakers Cyril Dion and Melanie Laurent, the documentary is a vignette of the pair’s journey around the world in search of solutions and those driving sustainable changes.  

The journey was sparked by a Nature magazine article that predicted the possible extinction of mankind between 2040 and 2100 if our way of does not drastically change, Dion has said.

The duo, who had small children at home, set off to 10 countries with a small film crew to interview individuals and organizations that are re imagining everything from agriculture, transportation and energy to the economy, democracy and education.

The result is a collective glimpse at permaculture farms, urban agriculture projects, community-owned renewable projects, local currencies, creative schools, and ambitious recycling projects.

One of the top French documentaries in past 15 years, the film won a Cesar Award for Best Documentary Film in 2016. It is being released in select theaters across the nation this weekend, including at Asbury Park’s independent cinema.

“The mission of The ShowRoom Cinema is to present provocative movies that engage our audiences,” ShowRoom Cinema Co-founder Nancy Sabino said in a written statement. “Our hope is that by screening TOMORROW, audiences will be inspired to exact change within their environment on Earth Day weekend and throughout the year.”

Tomorrow will be screened at 1 p.m. Saturday and 7 p.m. Sunday at The ShowRoom, located at 707 Cookman Avenue. Tickets are $10. For more information, visit their website, Facebook, and Twitter pages.
