how to return only the True values?

Question

I'm checking if a word is in the object in a dataframe series. Like this:
indicators['Indicator Name'].str.contains('population')

But when I run this command, my result is all values as true or false.
How can I print only the true values and show all of them? Since the
dataframe is huge.Like this:
ndicator Code
EG.CFT.ACCS.ZS        True
EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS        True
EG.ELC.ACCS.RU.ZS     True
EG.ELC.ACCS.UR.ZS     True
FX.OWN.TOTL.ZS        True
                     ...  
SG.VAW.NEGL.ZS       False
SG.VAW.REFU.ZS       False
SP.M15.2024.FE.ZS    False
SP.M18.2024.FE.ZS    False
SH.DYN.AIDS.FE.ZS     True

Following on MhDG7 answer, you might as well use the boolean series as an indexer, like:
indicators[indicators['Indicator Name'].str.contains('population')]
