This feature-length documentary film tells the story of a few Icelandic people,
not afraid to stand out from the crowd, who are taking a different path towards a
more sustainable future.
Academics, politicians, farmers, scientists and visionaries all demonstrate how
the isolated country of Iceland could – with a little help from their friends –
become not only a testing ground for new technologies but also a completely
sustainable ecosystem.
Punctuated with beautiful photography and a rousing soundtrack from Ampop
frontman, Biggi Hilmars and featuring Damien Rice, ‘Future of Hope’ is an
inspiration for a changing world.
