Surviving ProgressHarold Crooks, Mathieu Roy
Inspired by Ronald Wright’s bestseller A Short History of Progress this balanced and beautifully shot film explains that progress and improvement are two separate things. Prominent scientists, philosophers and economists such as Jane Goodall and Stephen Hawking state that there is such a thing as bad progress. And that progress can also lead to the demise of a civilization - just look at Easter Island. The warning signs are clear enough; the question is if we will recognize them on time. ‘Koyaanisqatsi meets The Corporation’ is a spot-on description of this impressive film, produced by Martin Scorsese.
