In the tradition of Logan’s Run and Soylent Green comes a lesser-known Seventies dystopian visian of things to come: 1972’s  ZPG (Zero Population Growth), starring Oliver Reed (Burnt Offerings) and Geraldine Chaplin (Nashville).

Under the weight of overpopulation, human society has begun to self-destruct. A policy of Zero Population Growth is upon citizens in hopes that twenty years without new births will right the sinking ship that is our planet. Couples are issued dolls to take the place of children, and neighbors are encouraged to speak out about any illicit breeding. Reed and Chaplin portray a couple that decides to subvert the will of the government and have a child of their own, but need to hide their crime from big brother, baby-snatchers and even those they had trusted most.

Co-written by Frank De Felitta (Audrey Rose) and Max Ehrlich (The Reincarnation of Peter Proud), the film was directed by Michael Campus (The Mack).
