 WATER\nSunday, November 16, 3:30pmCastro Theater, San Francisco\nDirector: 
 Irene Salina\nCountry/Year: US, 2007\nRunning Time: 93 mins\nFormat:

 film\nPanelists: Ritu Primlani, Thimmakka; Amit Srivastava, India Resource 
 Center; Patrick McCully, International Rivers; Prof. Ashok Gadgil, UC 
 Berkeley\n        India, Bolivia, Canada, France, South Africa, and the 
 United States -- different countries, same problem: the world's primary 
 resource is being hijacked by corporate greed. In this inspiring and 
 visually stunning film, Salina travels across the world, documenting how 
 dedicated activists are challenging the Goliaths, and offering creative, 
 sustainable solutions from the ground-up. In India, Salina talks to 
 grassroots activists, including Vandana Shiva and 'the waterman of India' 
 Shri Rajendra Singh. The film threads back and forth between the different 
 countries to create a truly global tapestry of voices, all championing the 
 sustainable use of water and its preservation as a basic human right.\n     
    From the filmmaker's website:\nIrene Salina's award-winning documentary 
 investigation into what experts label the most important political and 
 environmental issue of the 21st century – the World Water Crisis.\n   
      Salina builds a case against 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.\n        Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently 
 reveal the rapidly building crisis at both the global and human scale, and 
 the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind 
 the water grab, while begging the question "CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?"\n 
        Beyond identifying the problem, Flow also gives viewers a look at 
 the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water 
 crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming 
 blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.\nFor ticket
