Adam's World

Synopsis

Elizabeth Dodson Gray delivers a lecture on the global environmental crisis in Adam's World. The 20-minute documentary, directed by Donna Read in 1989, intercuts her speech with stock footage that illustrates her points. Gray, a feminist theologian and environmentalist, argues that the roots of the crisis lie in the perceptions and beliefs shaped by the patriarchal system. Her analysis calls for a reevaluation of these inherited assumptions to address the environmental challenges facing the planet.
