Tomorrowland: 'This Was Tomorrow' The Movie
The year 2015 will be chronicled as magical, mythical and memorable. The people of Tomorrow experienced Tomorrowland on three continents this year. The 3rd chapter of the magnificent fairy-tale was written in Brazil for the first time welcoming over 180,000 people from all over the world. Perhaps most notable, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon delivered a special message to the People of Tomorrow honouring the similarities between Tomorrowland and The United Nations.
All these and many more precious moments were captured in a fascinating movie 'This Was Tomorrow' the motion picture of a magnificent year. The 75 minutes story shows why Tomorrowland is so much more than just a festival and became a unique and global symbol of unity that connects people from all over the world.
From December 1st until December 14th, the world can discover 'This Was Tomorrow' as a free gift on:
