Screening: 8 Billion Angels

  • First United Methodist Church at the Chicago Temple 77 West Washington Street Chicago, IL, 60602 United States (map)

From One Earth Film Fest:

CHICAGO-AREA PREMIERE. FILM DESCRIPTION: “8 Billion Angels” tells the truth about the conflict between the size of our global population and the sustainability of our planet. It dispels the misconception that technology can save us, that reducing consumption is the answer, and that the blame lies solely in the developing world. With passion, humility, and honesty, experts explain the indisputable connection between our environmental catastrophes, unsustainable population and increasing consumption.
