About This Movie

Surviving Progress is a interesting doc that feels more like a cautionary tale than a standard docu-narrative. Directed by Harold Crooks, it takes its cues from Ronald Wright’s book, diving into how civilizations often fall prey to their own advancements. The tone is reflective, yet urgent, with a pace that allows you to digest heavy concepts without feeling overwhelmed. The visuals are a mix of archival footage and modern imagery that creates a stark contrast, really driving home the idea of historical cycles. I appreciate the way it doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths about our reliance on technology and growth. It’s not about feel-good resolutions, but rather an invitation to think critically about our trajectory.
