POV - Thirst . Preview | PBS

Global corporations are rapidly buying up local water supplies, and communities face losing control of one of their most precious resources. Looking at tensions in Bolivia, India and Stockton, California, "Thirst" reveals how water is becoming the catalyst for explosive community resistance to globalization. Focusing on one of the 21st century's greatest issues, this film is a piercing look at the conflict between public stewardship and private profit, where activists claim that water is a human right and corporations declare it a commodity.

Almaentity: Unfortunately we currently do not have

the rights to make full-length programs available on YouTube. Thanks for the feedback. This is something we continue to explore. (Theresa @ P.O.V.)

I was on Bf's account (unregister user of youtube) and I searched 'pbs pov' and I got a lot of chimp docs (not actual features). I wanted to make a comment, so I longed into my youtube account, searched for 'pbs pov' and got a totally different set of videos. WEIRD! The comment I want to make is that if PBS cares more about the work they do rather than the people who watch their programs on tv, they would have at least a few of their FULL LENGTH DOCS available to youtubers.
