Blue Gold - World Water Wars

Sunday, October 17, 2010 - 4:00pm

A film presentation. The war over your water is about to begin.

This is the fourth film in the “Examining Modern Life” series, sponsored by the AFSC, concerning water privatization vs. the public good, desertification, waste and contamination, plus what we can do about it.

Filmmaker Sam Bozzo has given us a real eye-opener, calling attention to a looming crisis we seldom think about. We’re bombarded by information on climate change and energy consumption, but our U.S. news media says little concerning the world's emerging water crisis.

As long as our taps are working properly, there’s nothing to worry about, right? See for yourself. (90 minutes in length; unrated.)
