Blue Gold - World Water Wars

Wars of the future will be fought over water, as they are today over oil, as the source of all life enters the global marketplaces and political arena. Corporate giants, private investors and corrupt governments vie for control of our dwindling fresh water supply, prompting protests, lawsuits and revolutions from citizens fighting for the right to survive. Can the human race survive? The documentary is narrated by Malcolm McDowell and is based on the ground-breaking book by Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke.

The screening is in partnership with IFF Ekofilm. A discussion will follow the screening with the personal appearances by Michal Kravčík (the director of NGO Ludia a voda), Jan Pokorný (the director of NGO ENKI), and Václav Dvořák (director of the water protection department at MoE). The discussion will be moderated by environmental photographer and journalist, Václav Vašků.
