People Problems: A Documentary





On October 31st, 2011, the global human population reached an astounding 7 billion people. The United Nations predicts that this number could increase to 11 billion as soon as 2050. In these coming decades, the world will be changing incredibly fast. This is my first documentary --- it asks the question whether the human population size (and behavior) is to blame for a biodiversity decline so fast that scientists are likening it to the other Great Five Extinctions of Earth's biological history. The plot line is pretty simple: first "everything" happens, and then I ask questions and hand out a bunch of Endangered Species Condoms.
