Learn About Water Issues Through Film
Water is becoming the oil of the 21st century, according to water experts around the world, some of whom are featured in award-winning films set to release in 2008. As the world's water supply dwindles, communities from the United States to India are fighting to take public control of their water systems and defend their human right to safe, affordable and accesible water.

Liz Miller's The Water Front, Irena Salina's Flow: For Love of Water, Penn State's Liquid Assets, and Sam Bozzo's Blue Gold: Life for Sale, all document an array of characters - from activists to corporate CEOs - who are at the root of the struggle over this vital resource.
You can get involved by gathering groups of friends and neighbors to see these documentaries as they are released in late summer and early fall of 2008. If you live in the Great Lakes region, look for The Water Front film tour, organized by Food & Water Watch, launching fall 2008. Or you can host a screening of one of many films available on loan from Food & Water Watch's Water Film Library.
