The energy crisis; the population explosion; the poisoning of the environment - questions undreamed of by our forbears have become the common currency of today's news bulletins.

In this Everyman film, Ronald Higgins looks beyond our immediate crises to what lies behind them. Four years ago he gave up careers in the Foreign Office and at the Observer to explore the six threats he saw menacing mankind's future and to try to come to terms with what he considers to be the seventh and greatest threat - The Seventh Enemy - mankind's apathy and inertia in the face of the other six threats.
