The new documentary, Mother: Caring for Seven Billion, will be free to view online from Earth Day through the month of May.

I plan to watch, because I am at a loss how we act with compassion, wisdom and justice, when all our Earth resource problems are compounded and solutions confounded by the fact that there are so many of us.
This is not an easy subject even to mention, much less to dive into with a full-length film on the topic. I have not seen it yet, as the apparent launch is apparently scheduled for noon EDT today.
