VIFF: Heaven and Earth series begins

https://wwf.ca/viff
The festival kicked off last night with Pedro Almodóvar’s provocative film The Skin I Live In, at the historic Vogue theatre. Tonight, the WWF-sponsored series Heaven and Earth begins, and I’m excited to see Surviving Progress, from executive producer Martin Scorcese and our good friends at the NFB.

Intelligent and compelling, Surviving Progress is nothing short of a massive taking-stock and features some of the world’s great contemporary thinkers including Jane Goodall, Margaret Atwood, David Suzuki and Stephen Hawking. Inspired by Ronald Wright’s bestselling non-fiction book about societal collapse, this documentary explores the idea of “progress traps” in our modern world.
