Blue Gold - World Water Wars

Blue Gold
World Water Wars

L'eau vaut tout l'or et tout le pétrole que vous pourrez trouver... dans un monde sans eau, tout ce que vous possédez ne vaut plus rien...

Wars of the future will be fought over water as they are over oil today, as the source of human survival enters the global marketplace and political arena.

Corporate giants, private investors, and corrupt governments vie for control of our dwindling supply, prompting protests, lawsuits, and revolutions from citizens fighting for the right to survive. Past civilizations have collapsed from poor water management. Can the human race survive?

Award-winning featured documentary narrated by Malcolm McDowell.

Global Warming is an issue of ‘how’ we live, the water crisis is an issue of ‘if’ we live.

"A river is the life blood of an ecosystem just like the veins and arteries bring blood to the every part of our organism. When we have choked arteries that's what's called a heart attack. A dam is the choking of the artery of the planet." - Vandana Shiva (Physicist. Ecologist. Activist + Author of "Water Wars")

A World Without Water

As less and less water is available, you have yet another problem being added and that is the problem of privatization. There are companies now saying ‘why don’t we bottle it, mine it, divert it, sell it, commodify it.’ That greed of privatization, I believe, will be much worse than climate change and everything else that has left us with the water crisis. The world is running out of its most precious resource. True Vision’s timely film tells of the personal tragedies behind the mounting privatisation of water supplies.

More than a billion people across the globe don’t have access to safe water. Every day 3900 children die as a result of insufficient or unclean water supplies. The situation can only get worse as water gets evermore scarce.
