Featuring unsung hero, author Valorie M. Allen, and with support from renowned environmental advocates, this film uncovers the uncomfortable truths about how rapidly increasing human numbers are testing the limits of Earth's capacity to sustain life.

This captivating and timely documentary originated in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, home to the 1903 Frank Slide – the deadliest rock slide in Canadian history. Over 75 million tons of rock came crashing down from Turtle Mountain, killing over 80 people in the mining town of Frank while they slept. Some disasters like this one come without warning – the population disaster is not one of them.

Our population dilemma has been predicted time after time for hundreds of years by distinguished thinkers from around the globe. Yet, humanity has failed to heed all of these warnings. If you are wondering why our environmental progress has been so disappointing, watch this timely expose and start to connect the dots.

Director Statement

Throughout the making of this documentary I've learned a great deal about the state of our world and the many players affecting its health, both good and bad. After completing this work I can attest that, author and activist, Valorie M. Allen is a veritable and bonafide unsung hero. Her efforts regarding the proper management of our human population on Earth go back more than 40 years and provide a stark and enduring reminder of the threat excessive human population poses to the planet and all the creatures that live here.

In this documentary Valorie exposes many of the entities that are escalating our human population numbers beyond Earth's carrying and resource capacity. She addresses the "bad apples," offers solutions and provides a glimmer of hope to a discussion that is fraught with neglect do to its prickly appearance. However, if I've learned nothing else from this work, I have learned that having a discussion about the challenges we face is much more productive and mature than just sweeping it all under the rug.

It was harrowing, inspiring, terrifying and enlightening to undertake this journey. I believe that sense made its way into the final production and my hope is that audiences leave the theatre feeling a bit more aware of what our human population is doing to the planet and feel empowered to make more conscious and educated choices with the time they have left on this planet that belongs to no one - not even us humans.
