Can anyone really own water? That was the questions that got French filmmaker Irena Salina inspired to take on a mammoth project — chronicling the global water crisis and solutions — from privatization to politics to pollution.
Her creation, the award-winning film “FLOW: For Love of Water,” was a Sundance hit and now is making its theatrical debut in theaters across the country. Her film includes interviews with some of the world’s leading activists, scientists and policy makers. But it also looks at how everyday people are affected around the world — from the United States to South Africa to India and the growing network of grassroots activists that are coming together.
While the film is alarming, it is also empowering.
