Recommendation

May I suggest a decade-by-decade (or year-by-year) account of the events to correspond to the scenes depicted in this program?

Also, a correction should be applied, as it clearly states in the program that the character Lucy is, by all known accounts in the year 2100 (note that she says "they say..."), the oldest woman on the planet. Even in such a dystopian society as the one portrayed in this program, radio (be it conventional or shortwave/world band) is a sufficient way of conducting a worldwide accounting of the planet's elderly population. The theory in this program is most likely that famine, disease, lack of basic necessities (domestic or medical) and war decimated the elderly population, to such a degree that only the healthiest and the luckiest survived. With Lucy (91) being the oldest woman (if not the oldest human period) on Earth in 2100, obviously no one born before 2000, and almost certainly no one else born before 2010, survived the decades in-between. Consider the world population dropping from as high as 9 billion in 2050 to 2.7 billion in 2085 (1.5 billion dead in a single year, 2084-85). 2.7 billion was the population of Earth in 1953.

Genre

The current Genre is documentary film. Given that this is set in the future, I don't believe that genre is appropriate --140.247.44.156 (talk) 07:26, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Documentary"? You've got to be shitting me. This drivel is science fiction worthy of Captain Kirk and some green chick.
