July 11 is World Population Day, which is an annual event observed on July 11 seeking to raise global awareness of over population issues. It is on July 11, 1989 when the world's population reached 5 billion. With World Population Day in mind, the theme for today will be films about overpopulation... enjoy!
1 Soylent Green (1973) Director: Richard Fleischer
Movie about an overpopulated Futuristic Earth where people are forced to sustain themselves on a mysterious food like substance to stay alive...
2 Logan's Run (1976) Director: Michael Anderson
Science Fiction film about an idyllic future with a serious drawback, due to overpopulation, people must agree to succumb when they reach the age of thirty-only for those who like seventies science fiction fare...
3 Hardware (1990) Director: Richard Stanley
Cult film about post-apocalyptic times where a robot is created to keep the population under control-for those who enjoy offbeat cult fare...
As I have seen all but one film from the above list (Hardware) I look forward to your feedback... enjoy!
