The many film collaborators who put this amazing documentary together tried to warn people of the effects of burning down the lungs of our planet. Obviously, not enough people listened. Hence, we are in the climate crisis we find ourselves today. So many people worked so hard to put this film together. It is a shame that the marketing budget for this important documentary was not larger, otherwise more people may have been exposed to this information in the early 1990s. By the time Al Gore narrated "Inconvenient Truth" the planet was so far past where it was in 1990. Too bad no one asked Al Gore to endorse "Burning Down Tomorrow" in 1990.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
