FUTURE OF HOPE
Iceland, United Kingdom 2010 – Director: Henry Bateman – Original language: Icelandic – Subtitles: English – Length: 75 min.
“The crisis is the best thing that could have happened to Iceland,” says Bogi, who paid off the bigger part of his major loans in 2008 as his mountain of debt suddenly began to grow again. Month by month his arrears multiplied… Stunned, the Icelanders were forced to look on as the financial crisis swallowed up their life’s work and dreams.
If you are afraid that this will be a depressing film about the injustice of the world, you are mistaken. FUTURE OF HOPE really lives up to its title and follows committed, optimistic, creative Islanders across the country. A film about the human potential to develop lifestyles in the future that are sustainable in the global economy. Morgane Remter
