Story
Mission Statement
When human life is measured in centuries instead of decades, war, violence and discrimination will disappear and sustainability for both the planet and our wellbeing will become our priorities. We will find our way to be as one. Of the 10 people in our crew, 5 are women, 4 are hispanicAbout The Project
In August 2016, the first Revolution Against Aging and Death Festival (RAADfest) was held. 40 of the top scientists, doctors, activists and entrepreneurs in the life extension field came together to discuss their research and the future of the human lifespan. A thousand people attended traveling from 33 countries. It was the largest gathering of its kind in the world, ever.
The message was clear: there are many things you can do today to live much, much longer thanks to a biotech revolution that is taking place that few people are aware of. This documentary was created to spread public awareness of these breakthroughs that are taking place. Many of these scientists have struggled for twenty years or more both to develop their science and to get funding for research. Now that they are close to reaching their goals, they need public support more than ever.
Our crew shot the entire event, producing 17 hours of finished video of the speaker's presentations. Long Enough to Live Forever was created using this footage, along with other interviews and some historical clips showing the evolution of the Coalition for Radical Life Extension. The documentary is the story of how RAADfest came together and how the presenters created something unique and ground-breaking.
This is your opportunity to join the support team for these brilliant people. Sure, we want your support in this crowdfunding campaign, but we also want you to see the film and become an activist, telling all the people you know that we have a lot to look forward to.
Long Enough to Live Forever is complete. We are raising money to attend film festivals and obtain distribution. The more money we raise, the more festivals we can attend. We're asking you to join our team and help get the word out. Here is the list of film festivals we intend to enter.
