This film is so refreshing because it highlights a very important issue that is not talked about enough. Population growth is a seismic driver of so much poverty for individual women and their families, so much civil unrest (16 of top 20 failed states have a fertility rate over 4) and so much environmental degradation. And yet it has been hushed and does not appear in our daily news. Mother is a very engaging film that pulled me in on an emotional and intellectual basis. And, like good documentaries do, gave me the motivation to make a greater difference on this issue. Being sure that every one of the 200+ million women that want family planning and do not have access get the access they need is the least we can do.
