Your Tomorrow is an observational portrait of Ontario Place, Toronto’s iconic modernist waterfront park, in the last year before its redevelopment from a public space into a private spa.  

Your Tomorrow follows an eccentric and lovable group of characters who use and care for this magical, once-celebrated park over the course of a year. We see the space evolve through the eyes of a security guard who has worked there for forty years, a pair of Taiwanese retirees who visit the park daily, and a swimmer/self-described “cyborg” who leads his cult following in year-round lake dips—plus a wider chorus of artists, urban explorers, birdwatchers, government officials and environmentalists.

The film documents a transitional moment in the landscape of the city, asking viewers to consider what our modern cities should look like and what a diverse urban society needs to thrive, while shedding light on the values of our generation. 

The Friday, December 6 screening will be followed by an insightful Q&A with director Ali Weinstein, producer Geoff Morrison, birder Francesca Bouaoun, activist and politician Norm Di Pasquale and professor and swimmer Steve Mann. The session will be moderated by Hot Docs’ Director of Programming, Heather Haynes.

Join us after the Q&A for a mix & mingle with the team behind the film and other special guests.
