Film Night
Saturday, April 17th, 7pm
@ Bethany Community Church
We will be screening the compelling documentary FLOW, an award-winning investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century – The World Water Crisis. The film covers the growing privatization of the world’s dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel.
Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies that are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround. On December 10th, 2008 FLOW was invited to screen at the United Nations as part of the 60th Anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights.
The film will be followed by a Q&A session with an astute panel of experts in the field of international development with backgrounds working with the implementation of clean water. This will be an incredible and informative evening that should not be missed.
Child care provided.
