The CEO of a billion-dollar water company argues for privatization as the wave of the future. A Canadian author pops the cork on bottled water, unveiling the disturbing realities that drive profits in the global water business. FLOW: FOR THE LOVE OF WATER is an inspired yet disturbingly provocative wake-up call. The future of our planet is drying up rapidly. Irena Salina talked with us at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year about why more people in the West are becoming aware of the human and environmental impact of water scarcity, how reservoir privatization affects common people, and what the role of world government should be in resolving the problem before it's too late.
