9/10
total immersion course in fresh water
11 November 2008
Blue Gold tells us that Earth's supplies of fresh water are limited, and we are using them faster than they can be replenished.

The film is loaded with information on many themes:

  • water overuse, transformation of living land into deserts, pollution


  • privatization vs. the public good


  • escalating conflict over access to water


  • work toward solutions by activists, organizers, and scientists


Water issues are complicated. This film explains with memorable images, compelling human stories, and Malcom McDowell's lucid narration. Vital issues of our times - war and peace, climate change, energy sustainability, healing the environment - have deep connections to how we get our water. Blue Gold will make you eager to learn more and get involved.
