MOTHER: CARING FOR 7 BILLION - a podcast by Jill Buck

Will it be up to women to save the planet? Perhaps, according to a new award-winning documentary, Mother: Caring for 7 Billion.

Grounded largely in the theories of acclaimed social scientist and best-selling author Riane Eisler, the film strives not to pass on blame for our environmental and social challenges, but to rather to educate, highlighting a different path for humanity. The film highlights encouraging evidence of what’s starting to happen around the world. Women, who have been primarily responsible for the work of care all these years, are now stepping into new roles of public leadership all over the planet. A child’s rights activist in Mother believes this could create a tidal wave of change, that’s not only going to ease our population problem, but also bring about policies that will sustain a new attitude towards our planet. Eisler’s research documents what Mother shows: that environmental health, population stabilization, and raising the status of women worldwide are inextricably intertwined.
