Reclaiming Water
2003
35 min."People do not drink words." Benedict Chacha, Tanzania
In 2003, thousands of people arrived in Kyoto, Japan, for the Third World Water Forum.
An enormous trade show, the WWF is also an opportunity for
transnational corporations and governments to present far-reaching
strategies for managing and financing water. Grassroots
activists attended for the first time in 2003, determined to present alternatives.
Reclaiming Water is their story. Well known participants include
authors Vandana Shiva (Water Wars) and Maude Barlow
(Blue Gold: The Fight to End the Corporate Theft of the World's Water).
The documentary interweaves personal stories, strategy sessions, and
analysis with striking footage of Japan. It was partially funded by
Global Ministries of United Methodist Women and sponsored by
Action Against Hunger.
Reclaiming Water is available for purchase on DVD for $19.95 (Individual) or
