00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,600

00:00:07,050 --> 00:00:09,050
Hi, I'm Roxanne Meadows

4
00:00:09,150 --> 00:00:10,650
and I'm Joel Holt.

5
00:00:10,750 --> 00:00:12,910
We're asking for help for funding for a documentary

6
00:00:13,010 --> 00:00:16,200
which is a three part series about The Venus Project

7
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:18,930
founded by Jacque Fresco.

8
00:00:19,050 --> 00:00:23,040
Very few people have come to the conclusion that it's our social system itself

9
00:00:23,150 --> 00:00:27,490
that has so much effect on our values and our behavior.

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,880
All things change, and we can see this especially

11
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:31,480
in technological advancement,

12
00:00:31,580 --> 00:00:34,670
but our social systems are still in the tail end of the middle ages

13
00:00:34,770 --> 00:00:35,770
(c'mon let us shoot!)

14
00:00:35,890 --> 00:00:38,970
...and our documentary will show you what we mean by this.

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,460
If we use our technology wisely and organize society

16
00:00:42,570 --> 00:00:45,020
in the way that The Venus Project lays out

17
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,920
we could feed, house, and clothe everyone on the planet

18
00:00:49,050 --> 00:00:53,820
including giving people medical care within a very high standard of living

19
00:00:53,930 --> 00:00:55,730
while protecting the environment.

20
00:00:55,870 --> 00:00:58,730
And this is what Jacque has been working on for most of his life.

21
00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:01,180
Our technology is on a path now through automation

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,990
to do away with most jobs

23
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:05,090
and very few people will have the purchasing power

24
00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:06,740
to buy the goods turned out.

25
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,840
Some are just beginning to see this.

26
00:01:08,940 --> 00:01:11,270
It's evident throughout our entire culture

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,450
and they're beginning to ask: what do we do?

28
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:17,850
At the age of 13, Jacque asked that question.

29
00:01:17,950 --> 00:01:20,450
He actually set out to start developing

30
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,160
a plan for society.

31
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:24,720
When they landed on the moon they said,

32
00:01:24,820 --> 00:01:29,670
"that's one small step for man, one giant
leap for mankind."

33
00:01:29,980 --> 00:01:33,930
We would like to present to you what could just be the next giant leap

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,540
in our social evolution.

35
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,550
Working with The Venus Project over so many years

36
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,580
I have seen where this has given hope

37
00:01:41,850 --> 00:01:44,750
to so many people throughout the world.

38
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:46,370
It may just do the same for you.

39
00:01:46,470 --> 00:01:49,170
We would be putting out each of these series as it's completed

40
00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:50,470
on the Internet for free.

41
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,360
And when they're all complete we will compile a DVD

42
00:01:53,460 --> 00:01:55,420
and make that available as well.

43
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,330
We deeply appreciate your support.

44
00:01:57,540 --> 00:01:59,540
-Thank you. -Thank you very much.
