Developing Stories Series II
50 minutes
Grades 10-Adult
1994
Produced by D & N Productions for BBC/TVE/One World Group of
Broadcasters/A film by Deepa Dhanraj
In this thought-provoking film, Deepa Dhanraj takes on the
international population establishment, challenging the
entrenched view that overpopulation is responsible for poverty
and environmental degradation. In India, peasant farmers are
being evicted from their land and then accused of being
feckless, poor, irresponsible and unable to feed their
families. Dhanraj argues that nothing has changed. It's the
same old debate about unfair distribution of resources, about
North and South, rich and poor - but clad in misleading
statistics about population as the brake on development.
