  1. This documentary makes a terrible kind of sense. It reminds us that something we take for granted, like air, can be sold to us – if we can afford it. And if we can't, what happens then?

    Builds a strong case for the conservation and preservation of water as a free resource for the world. Its warning against corporate ownership of water as a saleable commodity is stark. Overstuffed with information as it is, it fails to mention at all the disappearing Great Aquifer of the midwestern U.S., a strange ommission for a film of this scope. Full Review »

    Fair documentary, it's interesting but it does get repetitive and it isn't out of the ordinary. Well filmed, good interviews. It doesn't always convince however. Full Review »
