The Atlanta premiere & an exclusive, one-time screening of Surviving Progress.
Based on Ronald Wright's best-seller A Short History of Progress, this intelligent, provocative documentary explores the concept of progress in our modern world, guiding us through a sweeping survey of 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, Stephen Hawking, Craig Venter, Robert Wright, Marina Silva, Michael Hudson, and Ronald Wright himself, 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.
