From press release:
Population 7 Billion: It’s Time To Talk
Monday, February 20
7:30 p.m. | FREE | All Ages
@ Hollywood Theater, 4122 NE Sandy Blvd.
Free screening on Monday, February 20 at 7:30pm at the Hollywood Theatre, Mother, the film, breaks a 40-year taboo by bringing to light an issue that silently fuels our largest environmental, humanitarian and social crises – population growth. Since the 1960s the world population has nearly doubled, adding more than 3 billion people. At the same time, talking about population has become politically incorrect because of the sensitivity of the issues surrounding the topic- religion, economics, family planning and gender inequality.
The film illustrates both the over consumption and the inequity side of the population issue by following Beth, a mother, a child-rights activist and the last sibling of a large American family of twelve, as she discovers the thorny complexities of the population dilemma and highlights a different path to solve it.
