Increasing Humanity

This movie takes a fresh approach to the critical subject of population. As its title suggests, the movie deals with the growth of population in the world, both in a quantitative and qualitative sense. It points out there is a “race between education and catastrophe” as more and more people, and their needs, come into the world. Can our growing capacities as a result of this increase in population win the race? As our numbers increase does our humanity—our empathy with the rest of our fellow beings also increase?
