Ronald Wright's bestseller A Short History of Progress springs to life in a grand cinematic vision

“We are entering an increasingly dangerous period in our history,” declares Stephen Hawking in his artificial voice. “But I’m an optimist.” From the makers of The Corporation and executive producer Martin Scorsese comes an absorbing, multi-faceted documentary on evolution, progress and social change.

Presenting the story of human advancement as both awe-inspiring and dangerous, it boldly questions our tireless pursuit of growth and progress, eloquently linking capitalism, biodiversity, genetics and social inequality. The achievement lies not just in the quality of the nuanced arguments delivered by a smart line-up of scientists and thinkers, but in the cinematic scale of the film, gorgeously shot in spectacular intercontinental locations.
