Many
have predicted that the next world wars will not be fought over
oil but over control of water, the basis of all life.
Water has typically been considered a public resource with the
recognition that it is vital to sustaining life. Now governments
around the world are being pressured to hand water rights over
to transnational corporations for private profit.
Largely ignored by the mainstream media, there has been little
public awareness or debate about the world’s water situation
and the stark realities facing many around the globe. This film
explores the issues and what happens when you put a price tag
on this precious resource.
Media
Tank invites you to join us for a video screening and discussion,
with special guests, about an issue that has rapidly become
the greatest environmental and human rights crisis of our time.
