Ten Billion

Documentary83 min

As the planet’s population races toward 10 billion by 2050, scientist Stephen Emmott lays out what that growth could mean for food, water, energy, and the environment. Drawing on Emmott’s stage show, the film combines lecture, data, and field footage to sketch a future shaped by resource strain and ecological pressure. Lucas Joppa and other researchers add context as the documentary moves from population forecasts to the systems already under stress.
