" BLUE GOLD: WORLD WATER WARS " (USA, 2008, 94 minutes), a devastating portrait of

our finite and rapidly dwindling supply of fresh water, and efforts by giant

corporations to gain control over and commodify the most basic human necessity.

The increasing competition for control over water has already led to violent

domestic conflicts: the world's first " water wars " . As water become the new oil,

how much longer can we avoid international water conflicts?

 

The film features Wenonah Hauter, Executive Director of Food & Water Watch, and

Maude Barlow, Board Chair for Food & Water Watch and is based on her book, Blue

Gold. Refreshments will be provided and you'll hear about local efforts to

protect public control of water.
