Synopsis
Scientist Stephen Emmott collaborates with theatre director Katie Mitchell in an exploration of the future of life on Earth.
By the end of this century, the human population is likely to be over ten billion. Just 25 years ago, it was less than five billion. How are the choices we’re making as a species impacting upon our environment? And how will the sheer force of numbers affect the way we live in the future?
Stephen Emmott and Katie Mitchell deliver a new kind of scientific lecture, highlighting key issues being lost in translation in our discussion of the environment.
Ten Billion paints a vivid portrait of a species with its head in the sand.
