The world's population is growing at an alarming rate, with declining births in the developed world being offset by growing populations in the developing world. But are these claims outdated scaremongering, or do they bear some truth? Taking cues from the groundbreaking research of statistics guru Hans Rosling, "Misconception" offers a fascinating glimpse at how the world is tackling these population shifts. Following three distinct stories, Academy Award-winning director Jessica Yu grapples with the way macro population trends affect the individual. As all three subjects' stories are handled on a human level, "Misconception" offers insight into this highly charged political issue to reveal how we are all ultimately striving for the same goal. This Blu-ray features surround sound, the official "Misconception" trailer, Bao's Story with director Jessica Yu, along with English subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired.
