Birth rates around the industrialized world have been falling for decades, yet few of us have been thinking about the social and economic impact that communities will need to prepare for. Birthgap is a journey through many of these societies to better understand why this phenomenon is happening in the first place, and how it will drastically affect young and old alike. Data scientist Stephen J. Shaw takes us on an evolving and emotional journey of discovery through three chapters. This documentary will change people's understanding of the world we live in today, and for some, will change their lives.
