Liz Miller's documentary film The Water Front offers a sharp look at the

possible risks ahead for communities looking to privatize their water supply. In

spite of having a direct water intake to the Great Lakes basin and what was once

the largest water plant in the world, the town of Highland Park, Michigan has

had to fight a years-long battle to protect the public resource. Wenonah Hauter,

executive director of Food & Water Watch says, " As regular people pay more and

more for their water without ever seeing an improvement, the question of who

controls their water - and how - is ever more relevant. " The Water Front will

show citizens who face similar problems that they are not alone, and will

inspire people to organize, taking control of local water back into local hands.

Join the Food & Water Watch for a screening of The Water Front and learn about

its current campaign to protect water as a public resource!
