  • we all look to the earth and nature for hope and life and yet we still destroy it every chance we get

  • who the fuck is lucy walker? it most be created by a japanese not a foreign stupid "intellectual". fuck off!.

  • What a powerful looking movie. I really need to see this for myself, and I'd love to see it take home an Oscar based on the source material.

  • @revpunk1977 It's not only about population, is the whole. Japan will get through the present to a brighter future.

  • @roysunshine92 not when they have negative population growth they won't.
