"Thank You For Not Breeding"
(A benefit for the work-in-progress documentary by Nina Paley)
Are Homo Sapiens capable of living in balance with the rest of
the biosphere? Most humans consider our species the pinnacle of evolution,
our big brains rendering us capable of solving any problem. Yet we are
destroying the very ecosystems that sustain our lives, not to mention
the lives of every other species. Are we the "Ultimate Resource,"
as Julian Simon once wrote, or merely "a bunch of stupid monkeys,"
as Rev. Chris Korda believes?
"Thank
You For Not Breeding", a work in progress by Nina Paley, is an entertaining
animated and live-action documentary about people who choose not to have
children out of concern for the environment. This special screening features
over 10 minutes of all-new animation by Paley on the themes of population,
consumption, and environmental degradation. Also shown will be interview
clips from the documentary, with Reverend Chris Korda (Church of Euthanasia),
Les U. Knight (founder, Voluntary Human Extinction Movement), and Dr.
Warren Hern ("Humans as Cancer") . PLUS the complete 1997 "I
Want to Join a Suicide Cult" episode of the Jerry Springer Show,
featuring a be-wigged and overly-made-up undercover Paley donning dominatrix
gear with Reverend Chris Korda and the Church of Euthanasia. With special
bonus screening of Les U. Knight's mind-boggling 2001 appearance on Fox
News!
