New Dreams for a New World is a documentary film that looks at what people's hopes and dreams are for this world, their government, their lives. We are in a volatile and dangerous political period that is threatening the political and environmental future of our planet. This film that explores a broad spectrum of issues that are part of a badly needed national debate beyond the daily narrow and myopic focus of the establishment news outlets.
New Dreams for a New World challenges viewers to think about the future of our planet and the future of humanity by showing a series of important national events. Through the use of symbolism and irony it challenges the audience to think about our current state of affairs by looking at things from a different perspective. New Dreams for a New World presents a picture of both alarm and hope and doesn't shy away from presenting bold opinions and predictions and warnings for the future.
Now more than ever the topics in this film are very current and important - world war, militarism, racism, climate chaos, attacks on immigrant children, poverty, homelessness and more. Screenings of this film have generated badly needed profound thought and discussion about the future of our planet and the future of humanity.
