Description
Technological advancement, economic development, population increase - are they signs of a thriving society? Or too much of a good thing? Executive Produced by Martin Scorsese, this provocative documentary explores the concept of progress in our modern world, guiding us through the major "progress traps" facing our civilization in the arenas of technology, economics, consumption, and the environment. Featuring powerful arguments from such visionaries as Jane Goodall, Margaret Atwood and Stephen Hawking, this enlightening and visually spectacular film invites us to contemplate the progress traps that destroyed past civilizations and that lie treacherously embedded in our own. Executive Produced by Martin Scorsese & Mark Achbar (The Corporation, Manufacturing Consent). Featuring: Jane Goodall, Margaret Atwood, Stephen Hawking, Craig Venter, Robert Wright, David Suzuki, Michael Hudson, Ronald Wright & more. "This mind-expanding documentary bristles with provocative insights and probing questions about humanity and the state of the world." - Los Angeles Times. " Chilling. It tells the truth." - Roger Ebert. "Critic's pick! An all-out assault on our entrenched world views." - Washington Post. " Elegant. Wisely humane to its core, this beautiful documentary reacquaints us with the idea that not all technological, materialistic and relentlessly acquisitive behavior works either for us or for those around us." - Chicago Tribune.
