Synopsis: Through the stories of communities fighting for safe, affordable water and sanitation, Whose Water examines how the erosion of democracy prevents millions of people from accessing this basic necessity of life, and offers concrete solutions to address this unprecedented human rights crisis.
Accolades
"I have used Whose Water as an ideal teaching tool. The film has woven together compelling stories from a diverse set of people. As a teacher, I greatly appreciate how Whose Water foregrounds the voices of the activists and impacted people themselves, as opposed to featuring only the voices of “experts.” -Susan Gzesh, Instructional Professor of Social Sciences, University of Chicago
