"This award-winning documentary investigates what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century: the world water crisis.

Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culpritsbehind the water grab, while begging the question 'CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?'"
