“Living in the Futures Past - that's a metaphor for tuning in to what is already here. We certainly have some challenges - and they’re not easy ones, so we decided to take a good look under the hood of humanity. Really explore what makes us tick. “ - Jeff Bridges
Living in the Futures Past goes beyond politics, borders, and boundaries shattering the paradigm of how we look at long-term problems. Academy Award winner, Jeff Bridges shares the screen with scientists, profound thinkers and hundreds of earth's living creatures to reveal eye-opening concepts about ourselves, our past, and our future in a way not presented on film quite like this before.
"Living in the Futures Past" is a prescient, lush, cinematic tour-de-force about human nature and ecology that provides original insight when we need it most. No one says it will be easy but the genius of “Living in the Futures Past” lies in the fact that we can embody the wisdom to move into the future wisely.
