Restoring Tomorrow

How do we reengage the disengaged? This is the challenging question that religious institutions across the country are struggling with. Restoring Tomorrow offers an answer. The film tells a universal story of hope, as it focuses on a landmark house of worship that was literally crumbling, and a community’s against-all-odds determination to restore it to new greatness.

This story is told through the eyes of filmmaker Aaron Wolf who, like so many other young people, had lost connection to his faith. But, in documenting the struggle and ultimate triumph of the restoration, he finds that he himself is restored. The film illuminates a path back to meaning and spiritual connection that can be followed by countless others of his disaffected generation.

Following the screening, audiences will get to join Aaron and some of America’s most dynamic religious and community leaders for a dialogue about what comes next. Restoring Tomorrow shows what can happen when a community resolves to reclaim its past and build for the future. Now, in cities and towns across the country, people young and old have a chance to do the same, restoring their own tomorrows.
