Featuring, Stephen Hawking, Margaret Atwood, Jane Goodall, Michael Hudson, David Suzuki, Craig Venter.
Technological advancement, economic development, population increase - are they signs of a thriving society, or too much of a good thing? 'Surviving Progress' is a provocative documentary that explores the concept of progress in the modern world, guiding through the major 'progress traps' facing civilization in the arenas of technology, economics, consumption, and the environment. ---------------- Not the best I have seen but very good at reviewing history, and delineating the ways in which history repeats. I kind of like the way they show humans, as a species, have not evolved. The hardware of our brains is the same as in prehistoric times, programmed as hunters. All that has changed is the configuration and intricacies of the hunt, the tools at our disposal with which to hunt, and the impact of these on civilization, the economy, and the planet. What is a little scary, is the focus on using genetic technology as a way to force humans to evolve from the hunter into something as yet undefined. Even scarier is who will control this evolution and for what purpose. And, is this just more of the hunter mentality or is it potential progress. Kind of cool to think about from this perspective.

The award-winning documentary film, #ReGENERATION, explores the galvanizing forces behind the Occupy Movement and the state of social activism in our society. The film takes an uncompromising look at the challenges facing today’s youth and young adults as they attempt to engage on a myriad of social and political issues.
Focused on how our education, parenting, and media can influence us, the film follows three separate walks of life representing today’s generation. Each brings their own unique perspective – from an inspired collective of musicians working outside the corporate system, to a twenty-something conservative family about to welcome the birth of their second child, and a group of five high-school students from the suburbs looking for their place in society. Their stories are interspersed with the knowledge, wisdom, and personal reflections of some of the country’s leading scholars, social activists, and media personalities, including Noam Chomsky, the late Howard Zinn, Adbusters’ Kalle Lasn, Andrew Bacevich, Talib Kweli, and many others. Narrated by Ryan Gosling and featuring a riveting soundtrack from STS9, the film explores how today’s generation approaches activism, how it is impacted by technology, our disconnection with nature and history, our consumer culture, and the economic factors holding many of us back from becoming more active participants in our communities. Through a diverse and intelligent series of stories, interviews and insights, we come to a deeper understanding of the influences shaping our society. We have entered uncharted territory, economically, environmentally, and intellectually–and we must look honestly at ourselves to create a sustainable future. ------------------------- I loved this movie. And Noam Chomsky is one of my heroes. Much to digest, and to wade through as they try to connect the dots to a certain end. Very thought provoking.

From the creators of the best-selling documentary Food Matters comes another hard-hitting film certain to change everything you thought you know about food and nutrition. It exposes shocking secrets the diet, weight loss and food industries don't want you to know about deceptive strategies designed to keep you coming back for more. Find out what's keeping you from having the body and health you deserve and how to escape the diet trap forever.
Very interesting. Adds more pieces to the puzzle of how the body reacts to all the chemicals it is exposed to, and how the chemicals are deliberately used by the food industry to increase out comsumption while adversely affecting our health.

I watched this doc in the theatre, then stayed to watch it again.
Did any of you see it? What did you think? DEEP WATER is the stunning true story of the first solo, non-stop, round-the-world boat race, and the psychological toll it took on its competitors. Sponsored by the Sunday Times of London, the much-ballyhooed event attracted a field of nine, including amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst, who set out to circumnavigate the globe in late 1968. Battling treacherous seas and his own demons, Crowhurst almost immediately comes apart as he faces the isolation of nine months on the high seas. Part adventure yarn and part metaphysical mystery, DEEP WATER is an unforgettable journey into one mans heart of darkness.

![]() Apocalypse/How A discovery program outlining potential causes of the end of the world as we know it including the 7 super volcanos (1 in Cali and 1 in NM), nuclear war, germs - biowarfare vs super germs, intergalactic invasion ![]() ![]() Kind of interesting. More drama than depth. I expected a welled armed Bruce Willis to pop up but he didnt.

![]() The Whale - the true story of Luna True story of a young orca whale who lost contact with his family off the coast of British Columbia and became world famous when he tried to make friends with humans. Celebrates the life of a transcendent being from the other world of the sea who challenged all our preconceptions, from politics to science to the spirit. This is an intense film that will take you thru every human emotion along the way.

While the documentary shows a lot of ways in which womens lives are getting better, it also very clearly shows the oppression I am shielded from in my world here in the States. This is now the documentary I re watch on days I loose my grip on gratitude.

Showtime's current series: "Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States".
Right now watching: "Johnson, Nixon & Vietnam: Reversal of Fortune". Wow. Learned quite a few things I never knew from newspapers or history books (as I have from other episodes and time periods in the series). I recommend the series highly.
