The Gift of Life
The Gift of Life, hosted by former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, explores the sanctity of life as a moral issue and looks at the lives of individuals affected by abortion, including those who were nearly the victims of an abortion, but through God’s grace were spared. The Gift of Life also profiles leaders in the Pro-Life movement; those who believe that all other issues pale in comparison to whether we respect and honor others in the same way we want to be treated.  There is inherent and intrinsic worth and value in every human life regardless of that person’s age, stature, functional capacity, ancestry, personal assets, last name, level of education, or occupation. Contempt and indifference toward any life can become contempt and indifference toward every life, including our own. Through inspiring firsthand accounts and expert analysis, this film will give you a better appreciation for The Gift of Life.

But their greatest impact was in the developed world.

Demographic Bomb shows what happens when countries comprising 80% of the world’s economy have plummeting numbers of workers and innovators, falling consumer spending, and not enough young to support the old.

Demographic Winter predicted the financial crash of 2008. Demographic Bomb reveals how it is just the beginning.
