The Pandemic is A Portal by Arundhati Roy - A Future where the Global Goals are achieved

Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. Right now, nothing could be worse than a return to normality. It’s time to reimagine a new future where the #GlobalGoals are all achieved. In September, world leaders will meet virtually for the UN General Assembly which marks 5 years since the Goals were agreed. Let’s keep the pressure up so they turn things around. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine and create a better future. With special thanks to the team that made this film possible: Words: Arundhati Roy Director: Philip Davies at Battlecat Studios Music: ‘Dark Departure’ composed by Biggi Hilmars Voice: Amaka Okafor Music Supervision: Sophie Urquhart at Tin Drum Music Sound Design: Coda to Coda #BetterFuture #SustainableDevelopmentGoals In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals (officially known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs). These goals have the power to create a better world by 2030, by ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change. Guided by the Goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.
