Synopsis

A film in cut-out animation depicting the demographic problems of the world. It shows that in many countries, freedom from the old scourges of famine and disease has, in turn, created the new problem of more mouths to feed. The film suggests that wealthier nations might increase all forms of aid to struggling nations to create a better world.
