What is The Venus Project?
The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will result in a continuation of the same catalogue of problems inherent in today's world. Today many people believe what is needed is a higher sense of ethical standards and the enactment of international laws to assure a sustainable global society.
SUPPORT US ON KICKSTARTER
A Heartfelt Thank You For All Your Pledges So Far
We appreciate the generous response to our Kickstarter appeal. We're amazed how positive the response has been. We met our funding goal in only 3 days!!
Since Kickstarter funding is "all or nothing" we set our original goal as conservatively as possible. Since we have surpassed that goal, Kickstarter now allows "stretch goals" which are funding targets that go beyond the original amount.
We have set two “stretch goals". The first one is $55,000 which will enable us to acquire professional music and post edit including color grading. The other is a very ambitious $75,000. Having additional animations done would greatly enhance this presentation and could be possible if we reach this level. After all we have over 4 thousand of Jacque Fresco’s concept drawings and blueprints to pick from. Also professional marketing is important for a successful film and with this goal it would be within reach.
In any event, we'll do the best we can to make an exceptional documentary that we hope you find engaging as well as educational. We will keep our backers informed with updates and let us know if you have any questions. The amount we ultimately receive will determine how far we can take this documentary series.
Please keep circulating the link and keep urging friends and family to support this important effort. Thank you all for your support.

Below is a short summary of the article:
Is it possible to create a radically different society? One where material possessions are unnecessary, where buildings are created in factories, where mundane jobs are automated?Would you want to live in a city where the main aim of daily life is to improve personal knowledge, enjoy hobbies, or solve problems that could be common to all people in order to improve the standard of living for everyone?Some may think it is idealistic, but 97-year old architect Jacque Fresco is convinced his vision of the future is far better than how we live today.- BBC News

First time here?
Presented here is a straightforward approach to the redesign of a culture, in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt, and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but totally unacceptable. This new social and economic design works towards eliminating the underlying causes that are responsible for many of our problems. But, they cannot be eliminated within the framework of the present monetary system and political establishment. The ultimate survival of the human species depends upon planning on a global scale and to cooperatively seek out new alternatives with a relative orientation for improved social arrangements.
