School sustainability review for tomorrow
Tomorrow is a documentary that follows many inspiring and innovate people spear heading the future of sustainability. Directed by Cyril Dion, this film takes viewers to different parts of the world exploring these innovative solutions to the environmental challenges we face due to climate change. While the documentary covers various aspects of sustainability, its overarching message is one of individual empowerment and grass roots change.
The film highlights numerous examples of individuals and communities taking proactive steps to create a sustainable environment for them to live in. From urban farming initiatives in Detroit to renewable energy production in Denmark, Tomorrow showcases a diverse range of approaches to environmental stewardship and social justice. What sets this documentary apart from other literature on sustainability is its emphasis on practical, achievable solutions that ordinary people can implement into their community. One of the issues with climate change and sustainability is the doom and gloom echo chamber that surrounds it and this film breaks that mold by focusing on optimistic solutions and a belief that we can make changes to secure our future. Rather than dwelling on the dire consequences associated with climate change and environmental degradation. Tomorrow felt like a breath of fresh air emphasizing the power of collective action and showcasing real-life success stories, the documentary demonstrates that positive change is not only possible but also with reach.
Tomorrow also serves as a wake-up call for viewers to reevaluate this consumption habits and lifestyle choices. Through its interviews and statistics, the film encourages audiences to consider changing their lifestyle choices for the better and make meaningful steps toward sustainability and the impact they have on their community. The film is inspiring and thought-provoking however, many criticize its simplistic and optimistic tone saying it is overly idealistic, especially considering the magnitude of the environmental challenges we face. Additionally, the film could benefit from a more in-depth exploration of how environmentalism and social justice work together to create a better future, it felt as the film treated these as separate issues rather than a combine front when it comes to sustainability.
In conclusion, Tomorrow is a must-watch documentary for those interested in sustainability and environmental activism. It really addresses the issues that we face and some different innovative people working to prevent a dire future. From the classroom to field films Tomorrow inspire us to make change and think of the next generation and the world we leave for them.

Diarios de motocicleta (2004)
Horrible movie for historical accuracy however, beautiful cinematography and adventure
The story of The Motorcycle Diaries is an adaptation of Ernesto "Che" Guevara's journals depicting his trip with Alberto "Chubby" Granado. Two relatively wealthy Argentinians, one a medical student and the other a biochemist, leave their hometown to travel from Buenos Aires through Patagonia to Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela. Guevara would later go on to Miami by boat. It starts off as a pretty light-hearted journey almost mirroring the American family road trip. They leave on Granado's bike known as "The mighty one" which is far from it as its issues plague them throughout the journey. This movie is extreme propaganda having read Che's diaries which this story is based off of, it is a visually pleasing movie don't get me wrong but the lack of dialogue and overall kind of showing of Che is not very educational. It gets better once they make it to the leper colony and shows his humanity through working with the lepers without gloves or prejudice which I can respect. It however makes him out to be this Jesus character through the times he swims and survives from his asthma in this almost baptism like nature that is kind of overt and annoying. I truly would not recommend this movie for anyone. Serious about Che Guevara's beliefs however, if you're looking for an Americas adventure movie that is more visually and culturally pleasing than anything of real sustenance than I would recommend this. Even Che's own journals don't depict himself in the light that this movie does, and I think that really speaks to the way his image has been cooped in the years following his death. He's become a pop culture icon rather than a revolutionary who sought change through guerilla war fare in Latin America. The movie portrays the man as more than human and that is what we get for Hollywood's portrayal.
