    • Quotes

      Self - Local Activist: And if you can't take care of your neighbour, or the people around you, or your family, what good are you to anyone? Why are you here? If you don't care about your brothers and sisters, or whoever, why bother? What do you get up for every day? Yourself? It must be awful lonesome.

    Powerful
    There's Something in the Water" doesn't break any molds in terms of documentary form, and it's less impressive as cinema than activism. But it's easily digestible and well researched, with the aid of Waldron's book.
