Hi Aki,
Tonight I watched a doc on the global water crisis called FLOW: For Love of Water. This was an excellent doc in the advocacy genre. It does its job by giving us some very pretty (probably stock) shots, with interviews of passionate witnesses, from many countries, with snippets of stories of the water problems we face around the world – especially the problems that arise from privatization of the world’s water supplies.
First it makes you scared. Then it makes you mad – darned mad. Then it gives you hope. And it gives you some models of people who succeeded in defying the corporations, who here are cast as the villains.
No balance is offered: this movie was made by people who are mad and interested in action, now, before it’s too late.
