This coming Monday, HBO will premiere an entirely new documentary series that celebrates the children who will inherit the planet and their appreciation of the wonders of the natural world. A lyrical mix of science, animation, and music, “Saving My Tomorrow” is a call from kids to kids to help take care of the planet.

The show premieres Monday, Dec. 15 at 7:00 p.m. on HBO.

The series is a fun and engaging educational program perfect for elementary school children and their families. Check out the trailer:
