The documentary film 8 Billion Angels is made up of stories and reflections by Jane Goodall, fisherfolk, oceanographers, farmers, a public health physician, and a bioethicist, among others. We learn how the expanding global population is affecting our health and well-being. The film ends with messages of hope and examples of the benefits of educating and empowering girls and women.
8 Billion Angels was released in 2020 as a 79-minute feature film. PBS broadcast it in a 54-minute classroom edition. The website has links for viewing the two versions on demand. After watching the film at your convenience, join GEM for a discussion on Zoom on Monday, July 13, 7-8 pm. We’ll talk about the documentary and discuss topics such as population trends, reproductive rights, women's empowerment, consumption habits, sustainability, financial systems, and ethical implications. A discussion guide can be downloaded here. For additional information, contact Linda DeLap at ldelap@muuf.org.
