An optimistic, intimate documentary framed as a letter to the filmmaker's daughter, presenting achievable solutions for a sustainable future through expert interviews and hopeful vision.

A three year self-described labour of love, 2040 takes the form of a visual letter from the filmmaker to his four-year-old daughter Velvet, showing her what the year 2040 could look like “if we simply embraced the best solutions that exist today.”
