(First Run Features)Release Date: April 6, 2012Director: Mathieu Roy, Harold Crooks Writer: Mathieu Roy, Harold Crooks Cast: Stephen Hawking, David Suzuki, Jane Goodall, Margaret Atwood, Colin BeavanPlot: Humanity's ascent is often measured by the speed of progress. But what if progress is actually spiraling us downwards, towards collapse? As pressure on the world's resources accelerates and financial elites bankrupt nations, can our globally-entwined civilization escape a final, catastrophic progress trap? With potent images and illuminating insights from thinkers who have probed our genes, our brains, and our social behaviour, this requiem to progress-as-usual also poses a challenge: to prove that making apes smarter isn't an evolutionary dead-end.Genre: DocumentaryIMDb:
