Damon Gameau is an actor and director, and most well-known for his documentaries ‘That Sugar Film’, and of course ‘2040’

His films and content are well known, so I wanted to know WHY he decided to make them… what was it that he saw in the world that he needed to address?

Damon shares the power and potency of storytelling, and how we tell ourselves individual stories, but we also share collective stories, for example about how our economy ‘should’ run, or how we ‘should’ live our lives. The thing is, these stories are not very old in our history! Damon sees an opportunity for us to start sharing new stories, that will ultimately shape our culture and how we live.

In a wide-ranging conversation we also talk about Damon’s social and environmental impact campaigns to go with his films, which offer people an action they can channel their emotion into

We talk about how we are developing ‘carbon tunnel vision’, and the need to look at the world in a wholistic way rather than a reductionistic way

We talk about our system of uninhibited economic growth, and how that plays out politically and how politicians are governing out of fear

Damon shares his learnings living with indigenous cultures, and his experiences with psychedelics, and much more.

And of course, we talk about his new film and body of work Regenerate Australia, which you will no doubt see a lot more about very very soon.

You’re going to love this one, please enjoy, Damon Gameau
