The world is far to large for many learners to get to grips with "stuff"! The premise of the movie is to demonstrate what the world would look like if the population was reduced to only 100 people.
The statistics are very eye opening. This is an ideal video to share with learners to elicit conversation about world hunger and poverty and the need to accept differences in our cultures and beliefs. I think the video is very powerful indeed.
