REVIEWS

Review by Dvarpala (posted on 9-Jan-2008)

A stark depiction of a not-too-distant future, where society is on the point of collapse as the Earth's resources are essentially exhausted - due to pollution and over-use. Set in New York, the majority of the population are starving and desperate for state food hand-outs, one of which is "Soylent Green". Charlton Heston plays a police officer helping, among other things, to control the inevitable food riots that ensue whenever ther is a distribution of food. His involvment in a murder case leads him to the horrible nature of "Soylent Green", which is basically recycled human corpses. Very much of it's time (1973), this is topical viewing in today's ecological aware world.
