Synopsis
The Intimate and Revealing Story of the Dramatic Impact of the Battle for Water Ownership

Every day 300,000 children die due to lack of water and poor sanitation. Environmental change threatens to make this situation worse but a more immediate danger is emerging. Control of the world’s water is falling into the hands of the rich and water may soon take the place of oil as the world’s most tradeable - and coveted - commodity - not a basic human right. In a future when market forces set the price of a glass of water, will many more people be left too poor to drink? BAFTA award-winning film-maker Brian Woods’ film tells the intimate and revealing story of the dramatic impact of the battle for water ownership on the lives of four disparate groups of people across the developing world and in the heart of the planet’s richest nation: families in Bolivia, India, Tanzania and the USA.
