Documentary : A new society (2019)
The Panel has also inspired the documentary “A New Society” (2019) directed by Sofie Wolthers and produced by Eileen Jerret :
“What does social progress look like? What types of difficult decisions will our world face in the near future? A New Society follows a revolutionary collective of 300 academics dedicated to finding new solutions. Through candid interviews with renowned experts, the film examines innovative approaches to global threats such as climate change, income inequality, disease, and famine. This film aims to bridge the gap between policymakers, academia, and the general public to create a new civilization centered around tolerance, transparency, and human dignity.”

Video Spotlight: A Manifesto for Social Progress Ideas for a Better Society
At a time when the American society is deeply divided socially, politically, and culturally, and in a rapidly changing world facing serious environmental and developmental challenges, can we identify reasons for hope? The International Panel on Social Progress, gathering hundreds of researchers from all continents, publishes its first report, with resolute optimism about what is possible and great caution about what is likely to happen. The panelists will discuss human rights and global governance, cultural and religious trends, and how to address the populist challenge by more — not fewer — democratic initiatives.
