Surviving Progress(2011)

Every time history repeats itself, the price goes up.

Surviving Progress is a documentary that challenges our faith in human advancement. Drawing from Ronald Wright's bestseller "A Short History of Progress," the film argues that technological and ideological progress often creates "progress traps"—seductive innovations that meet immediate needs while mortgaging the future. As resource depletion accelerates and financial systems destabilize, the film asks whether our interconnected civilization can avoid catastrophic collapse. Through striking visuals and commentary from geneticists, neuroscientists, and behavioral experts, Surviving Progress examines how past societies fell victim to their own progress. Rather than a simple critique, it poses a fundamental question: can humanity prove that increasing intelligence doesn't inevitably lead to self-destruction?
