Funding

Tomorrow's production team fell short in funding. On 27 May 2014, the team launched crowdfunding activities on the internet platform KissKissBankBank with the objective of gathering 200,000 Euro to finance the movie and fund the rental of shooting equipment. Two months later on 26 July the team had raised 444,390 Euro - more than a quarter of the budget of the movie - with the help of 10,266 contributors.

Contributors

Initiatives taking place in France (including Réunion), Finland, Denmark, Belgium, India , the United Kingdom, the United States, Switzerland, Sweden and Iceland are presented. Here is a list of people making appearance in the film:

Analysis

Unlike other documentary films that focus instead on the cause of global environmental imbalances and their negative consequences (such as Le syndrome du Titanic, The Eleventh Hour, An Inconvenient Truth, That Should Not Be: Our Children Will Accuse Us and Home), Tomorrow offers a constructive approach (similar to Solutions locales pour un désordre global) putting forward solutions to environmental problems facing mankind.

Impact

The movie is cited by many French people as the trigger for a new kind of engagement in the course of the following years. The co-director Cyril Dion has since been using the movie's success to support the mouvement Colibris (Hummingbird movement), a group looking forward to change modern lifestyle, e.g. during the French presidential campaign of 2017.
