In an attempt to bring environmental awareness to viewers around the world, HBO and the American Museum of Natural History joined forces to present Saving My Tomorrow, a show that features the children of today learning how to better our world tomorrow. Part four of the six-episode installment will debut exclusively on HBO at 7 p.m., June 9.
The entire series will see an overwhelming amount of support in the form of readings, appearances and performances by celebrities including Alan Cumming, Laura Dern, Tina Fey, Lennon & Maisy, Ziggy Marley, Audra McDonald, Stephin Merritt, Elizabeth Mitchell, Jason Mraz, Liam Neeson, Willie Nelson, Karen O, Susan Sarandon, Pharrell Williams, Jeffrey Wright, Pete Seeger, They Might Be Giants, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Dan Zanes, notes Pitchfork.
"It's still a beautiful world, and if everybody pitches in, we can definitely stop or cushion the changes that'll happen," 13-year-old Aji said in a promo video.
The youngsters, who will inherit planet Earth as they grow older, give the audience an abundance of tips, sing songs, relay activism hints to protect the Earth and detail personal opinions on the ever-changing environmental issues that surround our day-to-day and long-term lives. Pollution, climate change and endangered species are just a few topics highlighted on the educational show.
Certain scenes take place at the American Museum of Natural History and showcase museum scientists discussing affected organisms with the kids—featuring Christopher Filardi, Christopher Raxworthy, Michael Novacek, Mande Holford, Melanie Stiassny, Mark Siddall and Paul Sweet—hailing from specialties spanning Ornithology, Invertebrate Zoology, Ichthyology, Herpetology, and the Museum's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation.
Saving My Tomorrow: Part Four, directed and produced by Amy Schatz, centers on environmental sustainability and energy use while sharing stories of endangered animals. Scenes contain children working to save the environment that surrounds them from the deep sea to the highest mountain. Willie Nelson, Dan Zanes and They Might be Giants make appearances and execute readings during the part 4 special while viewers go behind the scenes with Dr. Christopher Filardi and Dr. Mande Holfold to learn how significant it is to conserve and protect nature's habitats.
"I always want to work on shows that have meaning—that help us understand some of life's big questions. And, in this case, HBO and the Museum encouraged us to go deep," director Amy Schatz shaed on a Reddit AMA.
