2013 Movie Documentary
By: Mike Freedman With: Mike Freedman, Robert Rapier, Joseph Tainter

Things aren't looking good for the world's population; as we multiply at an alarming rate there is not enough food, space... or sense. This intelligent film interweaves a fascinating 1960s rat experiment by Dr. John B. Calhoun with a slick snapshot of today's urban jungle.
