Welcome to the Future

1998· 56 min★ 8.4· Documentary

The Venus Project's video, Welcome To The Future, presents an attainable vision of what our world could be if we intelligently apply science and technology with environmental and human concern--a future where war, poverty and hunger could be but a distant memory. It advocates surpassing the monetary system by introducing a resource-based economy, in which all of the world's resources are utilized for the common heritage of all people. With the advent of newer technologies, computers, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology; and by nurturing individuality and creativity we could create abundance for everyone; not just a selected few. It presents future cities (on land and sea), architecture, efficient transportation, clean alternative energy systems, interviews with project founder and director, Jacque Fresco, and much more. It is an in-depth explanation of the direction and aims of The Venus Project.
