FLOW: For the Love of Water


Irena Salina’s award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century – The World Water Crisis.
Salina builds a case against 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.
Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question “CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?”
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, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.

Great environmental disasters of the actuallity.

With the search of new tecnology and new alternative energy of the industrial countries, they have made mistakes in the researches and prevention of new risks that could to change the live of all living of this planet. Some examples are the Oil Slick in the Gulf of Mexico in june/2010 and the destruction of the nuclear plant in Fukushima to earlier this year, that we want or not, to affect the marine environment and we should to help. How can we do it? We can´t oppose to the new energy, but we should question this risks and to search new alternative of energy friendly with the environment, to take polices versus this resources that many times genereted war between countries...
