Soylent Green trailer (dir: Richard Fleischer, 1973)

Soylent Green is a 1973 science fiction movie depicting a dystopian future in which overpopulation leads to depleted resources, which in turn leads to widespread unemployment and poverty. Real fruit, vegetables and meat are rare, expensive commodities, and much of the population survives on processed food rations, including "soylent green" wafers.

The film overlays the science fiction and police procedural genres as it depicts the efforts of New York City police detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston) and elderly police researcher Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson) to investigate the brutal murder of a wealthy businessman named William R. Simonson (Joseph Cotten). Thorn and Roth uncover clues which suggest that it is more than simply a bungled burglary.

The film, which is loosely based upon the 1966 science fiction novel Make Room! Make Room!, by Harry Harrison, won the Nebula Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film in 1973. (Wikipedia)

I feel like this trailer basically gives away the majority of the plot. Its kind of easy to figure out what Soylent Green is by watching this.

In German "Fleisch" means "Flesh".

Fnnily enough, the director of this film is called FLEISCHER, which is the German word for BUTCHER, hahaha couldn't fit better, could it.
