Surviving Progress

This documentary examines the idea that humanity's advancements may lead to self-destruction rather than improvement. Based on Ronald Wright's book, "A Short History Of Progress," it discusses how past civilizations faced collapse due to progress traps—technologies and beliefs that meet immediate needs but threaten long-term survival.

With a runtime of 86 minutes, Surviving Progress uses compelling visuals and insights from experts in various fields to challenge the notion of progress as inherently beneficial. The film delves into themes of overpopulation, environmentalism, and the economic systems that perpetuate these issues.

Collectors will find this documentary particularly relevant given its exploration of critical global issues and the thoughtful perspectives offered by its featured thinkers. The film is available in DVD format, making it accessible for those interested in adding this thought-provoking title to their collection.
