Film: FLOW at Jacob Burns, Fri, Feb 20th and Sun, Feb 22nd
GLOBAL WATCH
FLOW
“A documentary and a three-alarm warning...it should make you think twice before you take that (unfiltered) shower.” (New York Times)
As An Inconvenient Truth was to global warming, so Flow hopes to be for the looming global water crisis. We have grown dangerously accustomed to taking this precious resource for granted. How many people have considered what could happen if the water supply were privatized? How many know that in some places it already is? Featuring superbly shot footage from around the world and a compelling array of expert testimony, Flow serves as both an indictment and a stirring call to action.
Irena Salina, 2008, 93 min., NR US English
Fri, February 20 5:15 9:15 Sun, February 22 7:15 Q&A w/filmmaker Irena Salina. $9 (members), $13 (nonmembers)
