PBS Doc Series About Tomorrow – ‘A Brief History of the Future’ Trailer

“What does it mean to be human at this moment in time?” PBS has revealed the trailer for a documentary series titled A Brief History of the Future, created and directed by doc filmmaker Andrew Morgan (of After the End, The True Cost, The Heretic). The six-part series is hosted by futurist Ari Wallach and the idea is that it will help viewers imagine – and work toward – a better tomorrow. The series challenges the dystopian framework embraced by popular culture by offering a new take on the future exploring potential solutions to existential threats. It invites viewers on a journey around the world that is filled with discovery, hope, and possibility about where we find ourselves today and what could come next. The series is executive produced by Drake and his DreamCrew banner. It is the first project from a new entertainment studio founded by Kathryn Murdoch called Futurific Studios. “We want to create an inspiring counterpoint to the doomerism and dystopia that dominates much of today’s public discourse about the future,” says Wallach. I’m all for building a better future – and for being optimistic with the right focus on how to make it better. // Continue Reading ›
