In 2004 FHA
Publishing and Communications began distributing a proposal to make a documentary
for mainstream television about the human condition. The
Human Condition Documentary Proposal is available here to be read
or printed 
.
Marvellous commendations have been received for The Human Condition Documentary Proposal, including from physicist Stephen Hawking and Nobel Laureate Charles Townes. These Commendations are available here to be read or printed.
What we have learnt since 2004 is that presenting the biology of the human condition alone is not enough; the problem of confronting the human condition has to be addressed, as does the problem of coping with the exposure of our less-than-ideal condition that understanding of the human condition brings. To cover these additional aspects, in 2008 the World Transformation Movement began production of the Introductory Video and video library on the breakthrough understanding of the human condition and the transformed life for humans that it makes possible. It is planned that these videos will be upgraded until they can be launched as a documentary series for mainstream television. The Introductory Video is now available to be watched online.
The following are the details of the 2004 Human Condition Documentary Proposal.
FHA Publishing and Communications (FHA P&C) is coordinating an extremely exciting proposal to make a 4-part documentary series about the biology of the human condition, humans’ capacity for both ‘good’ and ‘evil’.
The human condition is the underlying issue in all human affairs, the stalling point in human progress and the subject that science must now address.
FHA P&C is an Australian based organisation specifically established to bring scientific and public attention to the issue of the human condition. It seeks to achieve this through publishing and communicating information about the human condition. See the FHA P&C website for more information <www.fhapublishing.com>.
The Documentary Proposal
Scientists, philosophers, psychologists, theologians and documentary filmmakers around the world are being sent a proposal written by Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith, and coordinated by Tim Macartney-Snape AM OAM, seeking their interest and support for the making of this impasse-breaking documentary.

Over 100 Leading Scientists and Thinkers have responded positively to the Documentary Proposal, including physicist Stephen Hawking and Nobel Laureate Charles Townes.
Book on the Biology of the Human Condition
In 2006 Jeremy Griffith, the author of the Synopses
in the Documentary Proposal, wrote a book that greatly expands on the biology
of the human condition in the Documentary Proposal. This book titled, The
Great Exodus: From the horror and darkness of the human condition is
available to be read or printed .
Funding and Production Support
Funding Support is underway and some offers to help with production of the documentary have been received.
