I've been on a huge documentary blitz on Netflix over the past couple weeks and this is one of the best/scariest ones I've seen so far. I wonder if it was deliberate to get Malcolm McDowell to narrate since he was the evil tyrant of the water company in Tank Girl? It makes it a fitting choice really.

@skamperdans Thanks for these kids words! I love when the film clicks with someone like this. I did not know Malcolm was in Tank Girl until an audience member brought it up! He never mentioned it while we were recording either. I cast him because he often plays the villain in general and I wanted to show that the issue is not a liberal or conservative political issue but a people issue.

"Corporations are stealing the water" you got that right! They're geoengineering the planet to cause droughts, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. This causes chaos, confusion, division, & degradation so elite can conquer & control!They even play the stock market according to weather modification! Heads of government, military, corporation, prolific universities, are closely woven, it's all very political! Haven't seen film, does it mention geoengineering, large energy companies, Bechtel, etc.?

@Vastvisionist Thanks for the post. The film details the political system of global trade that surrounds water and forces 3rd world countries in debt to allow 1st world countries to control its people's water for a profit. Bechtel did so with Bolivia in 2000, and the film features the revolution that took place there, where the Bolivian government sent out the military to protect the COMPANY and shoot people on the streets, killing seven. But the people fought on!

World's first water war shall be fought between India and Pakistan. India has stolen the water of an entire river Chenab. Pakistan and India signed a treaty, which it has breached by constructing various dams over River Chenab that was exclusively given to Pakistan according to this theory. If world is not ready to ask India to behave in a responsible manner than Pakistan will have no choice but to declare war over India. Pakistan will be justified and destroying these illegal dams.

I agree. I've put a news section on the film's site (top right) that has stories about this.

A Kenyan woman won a Nobel peace prize, then started a Billion Tree Campaign with the UN. If we all got in2 this, learned how 2 properly reforest with native diversity & with respect 2 fungal & microbial symbiotic relationship with the trees, then repairing each region will positively adjust the local microclimate, which will positively influence the macroclimate, if a critical mass of regions participate across the map, & a critical mass of us participate in each region. sorry 4 longwindedness

@bozzosam oh wow, I wasn't expecting a personal response! Thanks for that :D He has a great voice and I think you chose really well. Have you seen Tank Girl since it was mentioned to you?

[TheTerrorUforgot]

@bozzosam It also covers the assassination of that one BBC wildlife activist.

The problem is the state-corporate-system which for institutional reasons only care about power and profits. We the people have to stop obeying our corporate bosses and the corporate representatives running our governments. Only by massive popular support based on organized and informed people can this change.

[jagfug]

Utter nonsense.

"if money is more important than water,Where are we?? very true

[EddieVBlueIsland]

Well at least we won't ever have a "bullshit" crisis - seems like the those "open minded people" are well stocked with that resource. I can't wait until we have a ocean water shortage - then even I bet most inhabitents of idiotcracy will get the idea that most "crisis" are only in the imagination.

Water wont go away.. it will just turn to piss. jks

Earth has self cleaning system:p at least thats what i learned at school

[M4NFR0]

the UN passed a law that governments need to supply water.......too late for that most of the water is controlled by a corporation the corporation has no law
