THE BOMB UNDER THE WORLD

51 minutes (In two parts for schools:
Part 1- 21 min., Part 2- 30 min.)
Grades 10-Adult
A film by Werner Volkmer

An ornately decorated elephant leads a parade through an
Indian village. A religious holiday? No, a promotional
campaign for soap. Consumer society is coming, and India's
growing population is looking westward, demanding the same
goods and a similar living standard. And why shouldn't they?
But what are the broadest consequences of Western-style
consumerism taking hold in large developing countries.

• -"There is a bomb ticking away under the whole world. We
  accidentally built it ourselves, out of too many people and
  too much consumption and too much pressure on the
  environment." Gwynne Dyer
