The DVD is slated for a North American release in mid-October 2012.

It's based on "A Short History of Progress", by Ronald Wright. The book recounts the "black box" recorders left behind by other civilizations as a warning for us now. The Easter Island tragedy is particularly revealing and I hope this film explores this fully.

But I have my doubts that this film will find the right audience i.e. people unaware of the predicament we humans are in right now - and are willing to listen and learn something new - perhaps in Europe, but the American social/political scene is so embroiled in a left/right farce that no-one wants to take stock and actually do the right thing not only for themselves (which at present time they seem content with the status quo) but also for humanity as a whole.

I watched the NFB.ca trailer and read the cast list. A sad reflection on the intellectual morons that our marxist universities are creating. The dystopian world of idiots like Suzuki/Atwood. I'm surprised Venture had anything to do with it. Voting 1 for propoganda.

So you voted it 1 based on a cast list?
You are the reason we live in a world full of *beep* world would be better without peopel like you in it. stop overpopulating.

I hope you are in favour of environmentalists being sterilized. The rest of us don't believe in the eco-apocalypse.

Facts don't care what you believe, as they still remain factual despite your interpretation or ignorance of them.
