- Synopsis:
"Flow" - Irena Salina's award-winning documentary is a stimulating and provocative investigation into what many experts believe the most important political and environmental issue of the 21 st 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 a crisis which is rapidly developing at both the global and human scale, As she delves deeper into the crisis the film reveals many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the appropriation of water, 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. - Actors:
