[act-ma] 9/28 Flow (the film) with some of the participants

[Charlie Welch]

"/Water is the sleeping giant issue of the 21st Century and we all need 
to wake up about it.  FLOW opens our eyes about the greatest threat  of 
our time - the global water crisis.  It is a compelling and passionate 
film. Its engaging narrative will grip the viewer./"
Robert Redford

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.
