Dir. Sam Bozzo - 90 minutes
visit the film website
In today’s world, corporate giants force developing countries to allow privatization of their public water supply. A line is crossed when water becomes a commodity. Wall Street investors target desalination and mass bulk water export schemes. Corrupt governments use water for economic and political gain. So the stage is set for world water wars, with a new geo-political map and power structure, and the possibility of military involvement. The film
shows numerous worldwide examples of people fighting for their basic right to water, from court cases to violent revolutions to U.N. conventions to revised constitutions to local protests at grade schools.
