Flow: For Love of Water
Oscilloscope Laboratories • 1h 23m
Directed by Irena Salina • Documentary • With Maude Barlow, Shelly Brime • 2008 • 83 minutes
"This award-winning documentary investigates what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century: the world water crisis. Building a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply, the director focuses on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel. 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?'"
