DESCRIPTION:************  POTLUCK!   ***********\n"An astonishingly wide-ranging film.  
 An informed and heartfelt examination of the tug of war between public 
 health and private interests."\n- New York Times\n\n"Lively and 
 engaging...Smartly Done"\n- Los Angeles Times\n\nIrena 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\nSalina 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\nInterviews 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\nBeyond 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.\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7JYS7My6nU\nhttp://www.flowthefilm.com/\n--------------------------------------------------\nABOUT 
 PEOPLE'S GROCERY...\nPeople's Grocery is a community-based organization in 
 West Oakland that develops creative solutions to the health problems in our 
 community that stem from a lack of access to and knowledge about healthy, 
 fresh foods. Our mission is to build a local food system that improves the 
 health and economy of the West Oakland community.\n\nWe want to change the 
 way the food system works. We believe everyone should have access to 
 healthy food, regardless of income. We call this "food justice" - the 
 belief that healthy food is a human right. The food system is failing to 
 provide low-income people with the healthy foods they need to thrive. It is 
 also failing to create good jobs and support local food businesses in urban 
 communities. So People’s Grocery works toward creating a food system that 
 centralize the needs of the urban poor and develop programs and enterprises 
 that produce and distribute fresh foods, provide nutrition education, 
 promote urban agriculture and create local jobs.\n\nPeople's Grocery has 
 attracted local and national attention in our effort to transform the inner 
 city food environment and address health problems in West Oakland. We 
 pursue unique approaches to community health and food security that 
 contribute new ways of solving our community's needs. Our efforts to build 
 more innovation into our approaches has provided us with first hand 
 knowledge and in-depth understanding of how to provide healthy foods and 
 nutrition education to inner city residents. As the food system continues 
 to decline our belief in new and bold solutions becomes stronger. This is 
 the essence of how People's Grocery lives its mission in the community 
 everyday. \n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/08/16/18616265.php
