The themed screening programs draw from extended chapters of the full-length documentary Birthgap — watched over 1.5 million times — filmed across more than 20 countries over a nine-year investigation into falling birthrates worldwide.
The film documents a journey to understand why birthrates have been falling for decades across diverse cultures and economies, with little sign of reversal. The research reveals the discovery of a common factor that had long been overlooked and has since been published within the Nature Portfolio.
