Irena Salina's award-winning documentary investigation into what experts
label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st
Century - The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against
the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply
with an unflinching focus 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 culprits behind the water grab, while
begging the question 'CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?' Beyond
identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people
and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and
those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints
for a successful global and economic turnaround. 84 minutes, 2008.
