Population Boom

Synopsis

Filmmaker Werner Boote travels the globe as the world population reaches seven billion. He investigates the narrative surrounding overpopulation and its perceived consequences, including resource depletion and food insecurity. Rather than attributing these challenges solely to population growth, Boote looks at societal and economic factors that contribute to these issues. He questions the role of media and policymakers in shaping public perception, offering an alternative perspective on a topic often framed as a crisis.
