No Vacancy – The Film

 

If current world population trends were to continue, human population could more than double, reaching 13 billion by the end of the 21st century.

No Vacancy is that rare chronicle of sobering optimism in a world accustomed to thinking of population as a dilemma with little hope for positive change. No Vacancy journeys the world in search of answers, providing a window on remarkable events occurring that have resulted in smaller family sizes and the empowerment of women and children.
