“Inventing Tomorrow” (2018) 
Director: Laura Nix (57′)

The film follows six young scientists from Indonesia, Hawaii, India and Mexico as they tackle some of the most complex environmental issues facing humanity today – right in their own backyards. Dedicated and determined, they all head to ISEF, the science fair of science fairs, awarding industrious teens the world over. Framed against the backdrop of severe environmental threats, this is an immersive journey into the planetary crisis, seen through the eyes of the generation that will inherit the earth.
