  • Jour de la Terre: Surviving Progress

–

Surviving Progress presents the story of human advancement as awe-inspiring and double- edged. It reveals the grave risk of running the 21st century’s software — our knowhow — on the ancient hardware of our primate brain which hasn’t been upgraded in 50,000 years. With rich imagery and immersive soundtrack, filmmakers Mathieu Roy and Harold Crooks launch us on journey to contemplate our evolution from cave-dwellers to space explorers.

Ronald Wright, whose best-seller, “A Short History Of Progress” inspired this film, reveals how civilizations are repeatedly destroyed by “progress traps” — alluring technologies serve immediate needs, but ransom the future.
