The documentary takes an unconventional approach to the issue of overpopulation: Can we find real solutions to the negative effects of industrialization if the human population continues to grow? This question should have been asked about a hundred years ago, but can we still say, 'It's never too late'? While there are numerous documentaries addressing fossil fuels, resource depletion, and ecological devastation, Surviving Earth stands out as one of the best. It features prominent biologist Paul R. Ehrlich, Tim Flannery, Ian Lowe, and other individuals whose work I follow. As a thematic addition, I recommend the documentaries
Mother: Caring for 7 Billion (2011) and
Call of Life (2010).
