The Earth Belongs to the People (1971, sound)

Description: Newsreel #57.

From the Newsreel catalog, 1971-72:

"A radical analysis of the ecology crisis, the film dispels the myths that big business and big government have been telling the people about the world-wide ecological crisis. Is there really over-population in the world, or is there an unequal distribution of wealth and food? Do people or large industries ruin the environment? Will the earth survive for the people or for corporate profit????? Live and animated footage."
