Surviving Progress
From the makers of The Corporation and Executive Produced by Martin Scorsese, this fine documentary examines the nuances of the "Capitalist experiment".
Surviving Progress is a wonderfully cinematic - almost symphonic - experience.
Combined with some of the most eloquent social commentators of our generation and an intercontinental perspective, Surviving Progress is powerful cinema that unfolds with great restraint, passionate argument and a sense of scale that is beautiful to watch.
Inspired by Ronald Wright's best-selling book, A Short History Of Progress, Surviving Progress questions the speed of our evolution. It proposes that humans are running on 50,000 year-old hardware that is yet to be upgraded.
With fascinating commentary from bankers, economists, scientists and philosophers, the film effortlessly glides across landscapes as diverse as the international banking system, the rainforests of Central America, genomic technology and primate research.
In ACMI's view this film contains classifiable material that would not exceed 'PG'.
