A sit-in that lasted two years and resulted in the triumphant relocation of a Coca Cola plant in India. Chemical waste dressed up as fertilizer given to a population displaced for the construction of a dam. Thirty-thousand deaths per day, 21 deaths per minute; the hearts of children stopping from a water-borne disease.
In FLOW: For Love of Water, Director Irena Salina investigates the state of water management across the world, with a focus on the aftermath of privatization in Bolivia, India and Africa. This film is currently awaiting a distribution deal, but it is a documentary to look out for. The statistics it reveals are horrifying and timely, and should not be ignored. Today our brows fret as we travel past the gas station, reading the numbers, evergoing upwards. But today is a time to worry about water. Listen for a moment. It is running out.
