Take a ride on the Bumble Bus

The Bumble Bus is a standout feature in the new documentary film The Future Council. Powered by abundant young energy and enthusiasm (as well as biofuel), the Bumble Bus embarks on an extraordinary journey across Europe with eight children. Their mission: to gain deeper insights into the environmental challenges facing the planet, investigate potential solutions, and elevate the dialogue from the public sphere to the corporate offices of major polluters and influential corporations.

This inspiring and fun-loving journey results in the children forming a ‘Future Council’ to advise and influence the world's most powerful companies on their decisions that impact nature. It is a coming-of-age journey that dares to imagine a brighter future.

A future of Future Councils?

Millions of young people around the world are frustrated by the lack of action to protect the planet and their future. Until now, their only avenue to express these concerns has been protesting on the streets. The Future Council film, along wtih its associated impact and educational initiatives, aims to amplify concerns and campaigns by providing a plaform for broadening their impact on a global scale.

"In these children lies the creativity, bold imagination and freshness of approach that is desperately needed in this moment." Damon Gameau

Efforts to support the growth and global expansion of a Future Council movement have been jump started through film screenings. The film will be on full release in Australia (March 2025) and Europe and the USA (May 2025).The objective is to build the Future Council movement into organizations, schools, and institutions as a standard practice, with the hopes of encouraging curiosity and innovation when looking for solutions to some our greatest issues.
