THE LITTLE THINGS THAT RUN THE WORLD

Get ready for Earth Day Phoenixville by zooming in on the small lives that make a big difference. The Little Things that Run the World is a 105-minute documentary featuring E. O. Wilson and other scientists, exploring the global decline of flying insects and what it means for life on Earth. Stay after the screening for a community discussion on what we can do next and help build momentum toward Earth Day.


The Little Things That Run the World introduces viewers to a diverse group of scientists, nature lovers, gardeners, farmers, and general bug enthusiasts in exploring the importance of flying insects amid rapid declines in their numbers. This most numerous group of animals on the planet by far – three quarters of all species – have also been called the “glue of life” on Earth. They literally hold ecosystems together.
