‘The Good Future EXPLAINED’: Futurist Gerd Leonhard’s new must-see video on why the future is better than we think

Futurist Gerd Explains the ‘The Good Future’ film: powerful new video

In his 2021 film The Good Future (must watch, as well:)  Gerd talked about why he thinks a “Good Future” is entirely possible, and what it may look like as far as business, education, healthcare, energy, society and technology is concerned, and how we can make it happen.

Since the film’s release, he has received many comments requesting to dive deeper into each topic, and to provide more context. Hence this new film: The Good Future EXPLAINED, a tour-de-force across what he calls the DDR.
