In a version of Tokyo, Japan, that experiences never-ending rain, a boy named Hodaka Morishima meets a girl named Hina Amano who can summon the sun — but at a great personal cost. The film demonstrates how an individual’s actions (and sacrifices) can make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things as long as you choose to prioritize the greater good.</span></p> <h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">6. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8miCh30GcGU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Holiday in the Wild</a> (2019)</span></strong></h3> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Romantic comedy and wildlife conservation might be a peculiar combination for some, but </span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Holiday in the Wild</span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> manages to make it sexy.

Although many feel resigned and refuse to do anything about it, the protagonist, Casey, refuses to give up. Her indomitable will and hope for the future reduce the probability of world catastrophe by a tiny percentage, but it is significant enough to make a difference. Overall, the story demonstrates that every individual can shape the future by remaining optimistic — and more importantly — actively doing something to shape it.</span></p> <hr /> <p><em>In this TED Talk, author and physics professor Vandana Singh reads from her latest work of speculative fiction and shares a hopeful vision for Earth’s renewal:</em></p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Vandana Singh: A sci-fi story of Earth's renewal" src="https://embed.ted.com/talks/vandana_singh_a_sci_fi_story_of_earth_s_renewal" width="630" height="355" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe></p> <div class="author-footer"> <h3>About the author</h3><p><strong><a href="https://ideas.ted.com/author/carla-m-delgado/">Carla M.
