“A Message From the Future II: The Years of Repair” is an animated short film that dares to dream of a future in which 2020 is a historic turning point, where the lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic and global uprisings against racism drive us to build back a better society in which no one is sacrificed and everyone is essential.

At the early age of six, indigenous climate activist Xiuhtezcatl Martinez (his first name pronounced ‘Shoe-Tez-Caht’) began speaking around the world, from the Rio+20 United Nations Summit in Rio de Janeiro, to addressing the General Assembly at the United Nations in New York City. Now at the age of 18 years old, Xiuhtezcatl is a hip-hop artist and Youth Director of the Earth Guardians, whose mission is to help children reconnect with nature and kindle a desire to begin taking care of the Earth.
