Who: Alan Snitow, Co-Producer and Co-Director of THIRST; Deborah Kaufman, Co-Producer and Co-Director of THIRST
What: Film screening/Environment/United Nations Association Film Festival.
Event: Is water part of a shared "commons,” a human right for all people? Or is it a commodity to be bought, sold, and traded in a global marketplace? THIRST tells the stories of communities in Bolivia, India, and the US, as water becomes the most valuable global resource of the 21st Century. It reveals how the debate over water rights between communities and corporations can serve as a catalyst for explosive and steadfast resistance to globalization.
