BBC Four – Surviving Progress

Documentary telling the double-edged story of the grave risks we pose to our own survival in the name of progress. With rich imagery the film connects financial collapse, growing inequality and global oligarchy with the sustainability of mankind itself. The film explores how we are repeatedly destroyed by ‘progress traps’ – alluring technologies which serve immediate need but rob us of our long term future.

<<Sandy Note: Very good…echoes of Dr. Bowles class on the History of Science.  BBC does a good job of presenting thoughtful programs on science. >>
