Future by Design is a specialized biographical documentary that prioritizes philosophical and systemic revisionism over demographic representation. It critiques modern civilization by challenging Western industrial and capitalist hierarchies through the lens of Jacque Fresco's futurist visions. The film's progressive impact lies in its narrative structure, which disrupts conventional notions of meritocracy and private property. While it lacks diverse interpersonal storytelling, it succeeds in its radical deconstruction of existing cultural and economic frameworks.

Official Synopsis
Future by Design shares the life and far-reaching vision of Jacque Fresco, considered by many to be a modern day Da Vinci. Peer to Einstein and Buckminster Fuller, Jacque is a self-taught futurist who describes himself most often as a "generalist" or multi-disciplinarian -- a student of many inter-related fields.
