A Message from the Future II: The Years of Repair

Powerful! It is a crucial step in birthing a new world to first imagine it. Deep bow of respect and gratitude to Naomi Klein for the depth of truth, imagination, and visionary consciousness that she has long gifted us all with. Please consider watching and sharing. Thank you. Another world is possible! — Molly

Do we have a right to be hopeful? With political and ecological fires raging all around, is it irresponsible to imagine a future world radically better than our own? A world without prisons? Of beautiful, green public housing? Of buried border walls? Of healed ecosystems? A world where governments fear the people instead of the other way around?

A Message From the Future II: The Years of Repair” is an animated short film that dares to dream of a future in which 2020 is a historic turning point, where the lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic and global uprisings against racism drive us to build back a better society in which no one is sacrificed and everyone is essential.

The film is a sequel to the 2019 Emmy-nominated short film “A Message From the Future” with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and features the art of Molly Crabapple, with the political storytelling of Naomi Klein, Avi Lewis, and Opal Tometi. The cast of narrators from around the world includes Tometi, Emma Thompson, Gael GarcĂ­a Bernal, and the Nigerian poet and activist Nnimmo Bassey.
