Movies
Soylent Green:
A tale of Earth in despair in 2022. Natural food like fruits,
vegetables, and meat among others are now extinct. Earth is
overpopulated and New York City has 40 million starving, poverty
stricken people. The only way they survive is with water rations and
eating a mysterious food called Soylent. A detective investigates the
murder of the president of the Soylent company. The truth he uncovers
is more disturbing than the Earth in turmoil when he learns the secret
ingredient of Soylent Green. (Summary from IMDB)
