Documentary FLOW Guzzles Attention at Sundance

Written by Jess
February 25, 2008

“Water is the essence of life, sustaining every being on this planet. Without water, there would simply be no plants, no animals, and no people. But the global water supply isn’t just at risk, it’s already in crisis.”

It was Canada’s tireless social activist, Maude Barlow, who inspired filmmaker Irena Salina to focus on water in her powerful new documentary Flow: For Love of Water .

Holding its world première at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in Utah last month, this film highlights the local intimacies of an emerging global catastrophe.

As FLOW’s team so movingly put it:
“…With an unflinching focus on politics, pollution and human rights, FLOW: For Love of Water, ensures that the precarious relationship between humanity and water can no longer be ignored. While specifics of locality and issue may differ, the message is the same; water, and our future as a species, is quickly drying up. Armed with a thirst for survival, people around the world are fighting for their birthright; unless we instigate change, we face a world in which only those that can pay for their water will survive…”

To listen to the podcast of Irena Salina discussing this film at the Sundance Film Festival, click below:

We must unite and act now for this is a global problem - one that transcends Nations, beliefs, and ways of life!
