The Choice is Ours a documentary series
Click our Kickstarter link below for details and series trailer!
Hi, I'm Roxanne Meadows
and I'm Joel Holt.
We're asking for help for funding for a documentary
which is a three part series about The Venus Project
founded by Jacque Fresco.
Very few people have come to the conclusion that it's our social system itself
that has so much effect on our values and our behavior.
All things change, and we can see this especially
in technological advancement,
but our social systems are still in the tail end of the middle ages
(c'mon let us shoot!)
...and our documentary will show you what we mean by this.
If we use our technology wisely and organize society
in the way that The Venus Project lays out
we could feed, house, and clothe everyone on the planet
including giving people medical care within a very high standard of living
while protecting the environment.
And this is what Jacque has been working on for most of his life.
Our technology is on a path now through automation
to do away with most jobs
and very few people will have the purchasing power
to buy the goods turned out.
Some are just beginning to see this.
It's evident throughout our entire culture
and they're beginning to ask: what do we do?
At the age of 13, Jacque asked that question.
He actually set out to start developing
a plan for society.
When they landed on the moon they said,
"that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
We would like to present to you what could just be the next giant leap
in our social evolution.
Working with The Venus Project over so many years
I have seen where this has given hope
to so many people throughout the world.
It may just do the same for you.
We would be putting out each of these series as it's completed
on the Internet for free.
And when they're all complete we will compile a DVD
and make that available as well.
We deeply appreciate your support.
-Thank you. -Thank you very much.
