July 20 /Christian Newswire: Barry McLerran,
producer of "Demographic Winter" and the just-released
documentary, "The Demographic Bomb," said declining
birthrates would be the most widely discussed topic at
World Congress of Families V in Amsterdam, which will
begin in exactly 3 weeks (August 10-12).
Philip Longman, a scholar with the New American
Foundation and the author of "The Empty Cradle: How
Falling Birthrates Threaten World Prosperity And What To
Do About It" (2004), will give a plenary-session speech
titled "Demography And Family: Lessons for Developing
Nations." Longman plays a pivotal part in "Demographic
Winter."
Demographic Winter Communications Director Don Feder
will speak on a Family and Demography panel. The panel
will be chaired by Steven Smoot, the documentary's
executive producer.
On the evening of August 11, there will be a European
premiere of "The Demographic Bomb: Demography Is
Destiny," for delegates to World Congress of Families V.
McLerran commented: "World Congress of Families V will
be the most important international pro-family
conference of the year. Its Co-Sponsors include all of
the largest values-voter groups in the United States, as
well as pro-family organizations in Canada, Mexico,
Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Poland and the Netherlands."
"That the issue of drastically falling birthrates will
play such a prominent role in World Congress of Families
V recognizes the movement's growing concern about this
crisis-in-the-making. Winning the battle on life issues
or the preservation of marriage will be hollow if
humanity quietly slips into Demographic Winter, which
threatens both the family and the very foundation of
civilization."
Besides examining the economic consequences of the
worldwide decline in birth rates, "The Demographic Bomb"
exposes the role of the population-control movement in
the coming population bust. The documentary reveals how
organizations, institutions, governments and the United
Nations manipulated and coerced families, evaded
political accountability and violated basic human rights
to achieve their agenda.
