“Over three years, Rosburg gathered over 150 letters from students, artists, activists, scientists, biologists, children, teachers, and everyday people. Narrated by artist George Boorujy, among others, this film was created in response to these letters and how they reveal our close emotional relationship to the natural world…and what we stand to lose.
dear future could be at any point along a continuum. Change is possible through a deep emotional connection to our planet first, followed by actions taken — big and small — by individuals, corporations, institutions, and governments.
Many images in this film reflect the beauty and change that Rosburg has seen over time.”
