"This is a film that expects an informed viewer ready to delve deep into complex problems, see them for what they are, and analyze how we got here."

Brian Newman

CRITICAL MASS

Critical Mass is an award-winning feature documentary about the impact of human population growth and consumption on our planet and on our psychological and emotional well-being. It recounts the historic rodent experiments of Dr. John B. Calhoun as a lens through which we can understand the way that crowding and exponential growth have changed and influenced us.

The film is now available on iTunes and VOD, distributed by Journeyman Pictures. We also show the film theatrically in partnership with organisers around the world. International television broadcasts of a special one-hour cut of the film begin in autumn 2013.
