WORLD POPULATION is an excellent discussion starter on the population issue. Although produced in 2003, this video still provides one of the best graphic depictions of population growth throughout human history.

This program is a striking depiction of actual population growth from 1 A.D. to the present and of projected future growth to the year 2020.

As the years roll by on a digital clock, dots appear on a world map representing millions of people added to the population. References to historic events also appear, helping place population changes in context. The visual presentation makes statistical information exciting and easily understood.
