Water On The Table

Water On The Table is a character-driven, social-issue documentary by Liz Marshall that explores Canada's relationship to its freshwater, arguably its most precious natural resource. The film asks the question: Is water a commercial good like running shoes or Coca-Cola? Or, is water a human right like air?

Water On The Table was produced in association with TVO, the commissioning editor was Jane Jankovic.

Water On The Table was produced in association with Knowledge, and with the participation of the Canadian Television Fund, Ontario Arts Council, Canwest-Hot Docs Completion Fund, and Rogers Documentary Fund.
Distributed in Canada by Kinosmith.

The "wisdom to listen;" yes Maude Barlow, the world has much to hear. Especially from you. So thank for your sagess Maude Barlow, when you speak, I'm compelled to shut up, open wide my ears and allow your wisdom to penetrate and inspire me toward action. Love is always!

In 20 years the global demand for water will exceed the supply by 40%. 

World Bank study.

What's next? Will the countries / corporations claim the air that we breathe? Will people have to pay for it? Unbelievable.

@lanechander She didn't really make many points. This was just a trailer. They even let the 'other side' of the argument have a voice in this trailer. Fair enough if she's no longer an advisor, but that doesn't stop her making this movie.
