Tomorrow’s On Fire by Oh Yeah Wow

Created in direct response to the Australian Bushfire crisis, Darcy Prendergast's new film #TomorrowsOnFire is a rallying cry for hope, in a country increasingly scarce of it.

Lyrics:
I’m angered, incensed, enraged and fed up.
With you lazy, ignorant fossil fool chumps

You’ve sold out our nation, and served up division
Whilst it’s grief stricken people, scream at deaf politicians

And it’s not just the humans— our animals fry
While you coal hearted arsonists, continue to thrive.

On our future you wager, without heed nor concern
Just misinformation, while our backyards burn

You elected officials hold aloft lumps of coal,
With the pride of an Olympian, who’s just won gold

From up high on ye’ podium, you silence dissenters
What we’ve come to expect, from you bald one percenters

You should be disgraced, and thrown headfirst from office.
Do not pass go, do not stock mining coffers.

Instead you drive narratives, of left vs right,
Whilst you all fear, what the middle just might.

So rally together, love strong and rage stronger
So that life on this planet, can last some time longer.

Tomorrow’s on fire, and the sky it bleeds crimson.
So it’s about time, we made our tax dollars listen.

Haven of Peace by Liu Song.

A reflection of environmental change and urbanization in today's China: "The animated short film is taken riverside towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces as the background scenic tone, via the short cut of daily life in sketch, to depict the traffic situation of real life directly. The art mood allures out some contradictable psychology problems which occurs since the moment people have to confront urbanism accompanying by eliminated suburbs and agricultural culture, with romantic literal manners taken from Chinese literature by Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty."
