EARTH 2.0™ Movie – Synopsis
For the last 8000 years human history has been guided by Earth 1.0, an operating system dependent upon the relentless exploitation of both people and planet alike. Earth 1.0 promotes an obsession with money, profit, greed and personal advantage. Earth 1.0 is sustained by artificial boundaries and stagnant institutions – all held in place by weapons of mass destruction and media of mass distraction. Earth 1.0 cultivates ecological insensitivity and an unhealthy estrangement from the rest of the biosphere – so much so that the very integrity of the web of life has been compromised. In short, Earth 1.0 is a corrupt and unsustainable operating system.
In contrast, the operating principles of EARTH 2.0™ are based upon global co-operation – between one another and with the rest of the web of life. EARTH 2.0™ promotes the dissolution of artificial boundaries and the creation of a sustainable human culture in accord with the rest of Nature.
The problems of the old Earth 1.0 paradigm are bound up with our cultural values, with our obsession with competing over finite resources, and with our estrangement from the life support system that is the biosphere. This unhealthy situation can be mitigated by re-attuning ourselves to Nature, by sharing biospherical wealth, and by cultivating a more familial attitude towards one another. After all, we are one species and if 7 billion of us are to live together under one biospherical roof and avoid ecological and social catastrophe then we must work in sustainable concert.
Sharing, symbiosis, consciousness and technology – these are the chief issues addressed by EARTH 2.0™. Footage of city life, contrasting social conditions, social institutions (churches, banks, prisons, malls, the media, etc) along with footage of pristine ecosystems will be utilised so as to illustrate some of these topics. Imaginative animation, cutting edge CGI and factional scenarios will be employed in order to convey new concepts. An original music score will also be used.
EARTH 2.0™ will climax with an uplifting vision of technologically upgraded eco-friendly cities along with a deeply stirring cinematic eulogy to the natural world. Audiences will leave cinemas with their minds open to new modes of living and a new way of thinking about life on Earth. Symbiosis, sharing and eco-consciousness will become buzzwords for the new paradigm.
