DESCRIPTION:Is water part of a shared "commons," a human right for all people? Or is it 
 a commodity to be bought and sold and traded in the global marketplace?  
 National Theatrical Premier of Thirst: A groundbreaking film that portrays 
 the conflict between public stewardship of water and private profit  The 
 Roxie Theater      3117 16th Street at Valencia, San Francisco  Friday June 
 18 - Thursday June 24  6:15 pm, 8:00pm, 9:30pm  weekend matinees 2:00 and 
 4:00 pm  http://www.citizen.org\california\thirst  Bay Area filmmakers Alan 
 Snitow and Deborah Kaufman will attend Fri., Sat. and Sunday showings at 
 6:15 and 8:00 for post screening discussions.  Guest speakers will be 
 present at many showings.  On Thurs., June 24 after the 6:15 and 8:00 
 showings Jim Schultz from the Democracy Center will give an update on the 
 struggle against water privatization in Cochabamba, Bolivia.  THIRST tells 
 the stories of communities in Bolivia, India, and the United States that 
 are asking these fundamental questions, as water becomes the most valuable 
 global resource of the 21st Century.  Global corporations are rapidly 
 buying up local water supplies and privatizing water utilities in places 
 like Stockton, CA.  As communities suddenly lose control of their most 
 precious resource, citizens and governments battle to reaffirm public 
 stewardship and basic water rights.  This ground breaking film reveals how 
 efforts by powerful corporations to commodify the world's water supplies 
 have become a strong catalyst for community resistance to globalization.
