Last Call

40 years ago a book shook the world. The Limits to Growth was the result of research by a team of young scientists from MIT, commissioned by the Club of Rome, a think tank founded by Italian entrepreneur Aurelio Peccei. One of the most controversial and inspiring studies of all times, today its key message is more relevant than ever: Planet Earth is a finite system in which exponential economic growth risks leading societies and the environment to overshoot and collapse. Four decades after the book’s publication, economic and political shortsightedness continues to delay action despite the analysis that forecast current scenarios. Today the authors of The Limits to Growth provide provocative insight into the reasons behind the ongoing global crisis and share their visions of mankind’s future. Is there still time for one last call?
Thanks to a host of archive materials, some of which are revealed to the public for the first time, and the voices of the people involved, director Enrico Cerasuolo immerses viewers in a compelling tale that sparks awareness of the urgent need to make the choices that will safeguard our planet’s future.
