With your camera rolling, find out: speak to people in your community and uncover what they’re feeling and why. Beyond their hopes and fears, what do they actually expect to happen in the coming ten years? Create a video that reveals, intrigues and flows.

People have their hopes and fears, but what do they really expect to happen during the coming decade? Why?
