Show detail Hide detail

Fletcher Markle introduces the theme of the program, the population explosion. Lord Ritchie Calder, John Kettle, and UN demographer Milos Macura provide evidence, supported by sequences on teeming cities in Japan, Hong Kong, and India, that something is amiss. A capsule history of the 20th century featuring the two World Wars and the Great Depression - marching British soldiers, soup lines, and Canadian soldiers in training - lead to the post-war baby boom, along with progress in health care and lengthening life span. Lamont Cole, W.W. Rostow, and Buckminister Fuller reflect on the fluctuating birth rate while George Borgstrom and Colin Clark discuss other problems relating to food production. John Kettle states that in spite of dire projections there will be more than enough living space for years to come. Egyptian social worker, Ms. Azizi Hussein, and Arthur De Vaney recommend family planning while recognizing that in African farming communities, large families are favoured. John Kettle ends on a positive note as he says that world population will reach a state of equilibrium with available space, food, and shelter. Sequences on cityscapes, smog, steel mills and extremely crowded districts are intercut all throughout the film. <24mn 48s>
