Ce documentaire cinématographique, inspiré du best-seller A Short History of Progress de Ronald Wright, pose un diagnostic subversif sur le progrès de l’humanité et les pièges qu’il apporte. Le réalisateur Mathieu Roy et co-réalisateur Harold Crooks, par le biais de scènes mémorables et le regard lucide de grandes personnalités tels que David Suzuki, Jane Goodall, Margaret Atwood et Stephen Hawking, sondent la nature fondamentale et dérangeante de ce qui est qualifié de progrès.
