Flow – For Love of Water
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. (Excerpt from flowthefilm.com)

I have a feeling this would have been a good watch, but I can’t hear a thing. I have the volume turned all the way up but it’s still very quiet.

There’s something wrong with the audio…

I remember when the bottled water fad started. I was taking a yoga class at the time. Everyone had their bottles with them at every session. Around that time I also saw the documentary that contains the ‘fancy water’ scene with the bottles that contained just hose water from the restaurant. I really have a hard time drinking from the faucet, so I buy pitchers that have filters in them. The water tastes much less metallic. I think the ‘cosmetics’ in the water cannot be in the same category as Lye, Oven Cleaner, or Bleach. Yuck, I could develop so many new phobias from watching this. But, the most important point from this doc, is that perhaps whole communities of people could be systematically removed by denying them a clean, reliable, and free water source. Genocide.

If you put headphones in to your computer the volume works fine (at least it did for me).
Fantastic film. Horrifying then heartbreaking then inspiring. Very well made film and I’m glad I watched it. I wish I could get everyone I know to watch it.

For those of you who have audio difficulties, the solution is very simple. Use headphones….

Inspiring film. I also wish that I could get everyone I know to watch it and be motivated to at least send some emails or letters to their elected representatives voiceing concerns over the role of multinationals in controling the supply of clean water. We can all do something at a local level by simply not buying bottled water, if you are worried about water quality then buy a filtration system and purify your own water at home. Every action helps no matter how small.
