Kuwait: Green Caravan Film Festival 2009: Blue Gold: World Water Wars

Water will be a source of global conflict, as oil is now. Based on the groundbreaking book Blue Gold: The Fight to Stop the Corporate Theft of the World’s Water by Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke, the film makes the case against commodification, proclaiming water as a precious public resource to be protected for eternity. With dwindling clean water supplies, conflicts are already developing between corporations, private investors, government interests and the human race that needs water to survive. Narrated by Malcolm McDowell, Blue Gold is a powerful exploration of existing water wars and a direct warning of what is to come.

Screening: Tomorrow, Oct 29th, 6:30 p.m.
