FLOW: For Love Of Water

Irena Salina’s award-winning documentary investigates into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis. Numerous acts against humanity’s basic water rights are exposed in Flow. Privatisation of water sources in Africa and India leaves poor families no other option than to use unsanitary river water for drinking and hygiene. Bottled water companies drain farmland in the United States. Dam construction in Africa and China forces the relocation of hundreds of thousands of people. 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 culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question, can anyone really own water?
