will speak to local and global water rights and corporate takeover of water resources.

A bit about Flow:
Award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis. On the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel.

A bit about Food & Water Watch:
A nonprofit consumer organization based in Washington, D.C., with offices in California, works to ensure clean water and safe food in the United States and around the world. We challenge the corporate control and abuse of our food and water resources by empowering people to take action and transforming the public consciousness about what we eat and drink.

my girlfriend and i attempted to attend this "screening", only to concede to the baffled hostess (who was trying to find us seats "just to watch") that we could sit at the bar by the entrance. but behind all the diners, waitstaff and kitchen staff it was nearly impossible to hear any of the dialogue. i wish we could have taken in the documentary fully. is it readily available online on dvd or any other medium? i hope we will eventually be able to view it. good try.
