THE VASECTOMIST is a documentary film following Dr Doug Stein, a urologist from small town Florida on a mission to save the planet by ?spreading the gospel of vasectomy?. Doug has performed more vasectomies than anyone ? 30,000 ? throughout the US, Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. As he travels the world, Doug confronts the difficult ethical questions surrounding birth control and the reluctance of men to be involved in family planning. He comes up against conservatives and religious groups who believe family planning is akin to genocide, every bit as evil as abortion. But he also upsets liberal groups who challenge him for bringing family planning to poor countries, arguing this is a slippery slope towards imperialism and racism.
