For the Love of Water

Did you know that the U.S. uses approximately 17,000,000 barrels of oil per year for bottling, transporting, disposing of, and recycling bottled water containers? That's enough oil to power more than one million U.S. cars and is responsible for more than 2.5 million tons of CO2 released into the atmosphere.

Did you know that nearly one quarter of the earth's citizens lack access to clean drinking water? Or that over 116,000 human-made chemicals are finding their way into public water supply systems worldwide? “FLOW: For Love of Water”, shown at this year’s Seattle International Film Festival, is Irena Salina's award-winning documentary that brings awareness to these issues.

FLOW is an excellent film that will open your eyes to one of the greatest threats of our time–the global water crisis. Using brilliant detail and stunning photography, the film chronicles myriad problems with the world's water supply and appetite for water. Unlike many documentaries, it spends a fair amount of time discussing ways we can address this problem individually and on a larger scale.

FLOW hits theaters nationwide on Sept. 12. For more information visit www.flowthefilm.com.
