Part I of this three-part documentary series titled The Choice Is Ours explores the determinants of behavior to dispel the myth of “human nature” and demonstrate that environment shapes behavior.

Part II illustrates how our social structures impose our values and behaviors demonstrating that our global monetary system is obsolete and increasingly insufficient to meet the needs of most people.

Part III, to be released this year, will depict the vision of The Venus Project to build an entirely new world from the ground up, a “redesign of the culture” where all enjoy a high standard of living, free of servitude and debt, while also protecting the environment.

We want to send a heartfelt thank you to all of our Kickstarter donators & The Venus Project supporters who made it possible for us to produce Part I & II of The Choice is Ours.
In addition, we have an official website for the film series with further details about the documentary at: thechoiceisoursmovie.com

The Venus Project – The series shows an optimistic vision of the world if we apply science & technology for the benefit of all people and the environment.

Civilized?

Though we call ourselves a ‘civilized’ society, we continue to see violence and barbarism throughout the world. Our resources and technologies are mostly wasted on military systems instead of social betterment. We see a grim prescience in the quote of H.G. Wells, “If we don’t end war, war will end us” (1936). Given the advanced state of our technology, we have far better alternatives than slaughtering each other and destroying the environment.

A Vision for Sustainability…The Best that Money Can’t Buy

This documentary series will present the vision of The Venus Project, founded by Jacque Fresco. Now 97, Fresco has been designing an innovative vision for most of his life; a global plan to surpass the need for politics, poverty, and war; and most important… a plan that includes the methodology to attain this. A daring undertaking indeed, but Fresco points out that people once wrote books explaining why man would never fly. The Wright Brothers never read those books and went on to build a flying machine.

Technology for the Well-Being of All

Venus ProjectAs a futurist, industrial designer and multi-disciplinarian, Jacque has spent most of his life on problem-solving for the benefit of all. He has long known that we possess the creative and technological capacity to build an entirely new world from the ground up – a world where people enjoy a high standard-of-living while also protecting the environment.

This three-part series will introduce the culmination of his life’s work; a vision calledThe Venus Project, which encompasses a revolutionary socio-economic system he calls a Resource-Based Economy. This approach uses intelligent cybernated systems to fulfill the needs of society, which will relegate servitude and debt to the chronicles of history. Though some may allude to the fiction of Orwell, this system does not control or monitor people, for it surpasses any need to do so. It will only oversee and manage the distribution of goods, services and environmental management.

The Way Forward

Our problems are mostly of our own making, and only we can turn things around before the point of no return. The Venus Project offers a way out of our dilemmas in the shortest time possible. The future is fluid and is ours to direct. It is not too late for an optimistic outlook on the fantastic possibilities that lie before us.  Continue reading . . .
