 future will be fought over water, as they are today over oil, as the source 
 of all life enters the global marketplace and political arena.  Corporate 
 giants, private investors, and corrupt governments vie for control of our 
 dwindling fresh water supply, prompting protests, lawsuits, and revolution 
 from citizens fighting for the right to survive.  Past civilizations have 
 collapsed from poor water management.  Will ours too?\n\nIn every corner of 
 the globe, we are polluting, diverting, pumping, and wasting our limited 
 supply of fresh water at an expediential level as population and technology 
 grows.  The rampant over-development of agriculture, housing and industry 
 increase the demands for fresh water well beyond the finite supply, 
 resulting in the desertification of the Earth.\n\nCorporate giants force 
 developing countries to privatize their water supply for profit. Wall 
 Street investors target desalination and mass bulk water export schemes.  
 Corrupt governments use water for economic and political gain.  Military 
 control of water emerges and a new geo-political map and power structure 
 forms, setting the stage for world water wars.\n\nThis alarming film 
 follows numerous worldwide examples of people fighting for their basic 
 right to water, from court cases to violent revolutions to U.N. conventions 
 to revised constitutions to local protests at grade schools.  As Maude 
 Barlow proclaims, “This is our revolution, this is our war.”  A line is 
 crossed as water becomes a commodity.  Will we survive?\n\nWheelchair 
 accessible around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 donations are 
 accepted\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/08/27/18656966.php
