TOMORROW'S HOPE

TOMORROW’S HOPE, Executive produced by the Saul Zaentz Charitable Foundation, turns some heads at SXSW EDU 2022

Tomorrow’s Hope producers Tamra Raven and Aaron Steinberg were joined for their screening at SXSW EDU by one of the film’s outspoken subjects Portia Kennel to talk about the film, what it took to make it, and the ongoing issues and hurdles that teachers face as we attempt to not simply educate children, but also take care of the people charged with that responsibility of teaching them.

Part of what we understand the Saul Zaentz Charitable Foundation is looking to do is to use filmmaking to get people to think more and care more overall about how access to education (specifically early education) is essential to the concept of caring for kids everywhere. As one of the parents in the film points out, kids “are our future.” It’s vexing how this seems like something that everyone wants to make happen – and yet, as a country we keep dropping the ball.
