8 Billion Angels

Human overpopulation is the root cause of many of our worst environmental problems, and probably more than a few of our social problems. We are literally breeding ourselves into extinction, but it seems to be taboo to even discuss the issue in today's world. At least this short, excellent documentary does look at the problem in an intelligent way, and without beating the viewer over the head with it. But the film does try to show the huge costs we pay for not dealing with our own overpopulation, and it also offers some realistic remedies as well. An important, interesting film about an enormously important topic. A shame that out of almost 8 billion people, I'm the first to even review it here.
