Amazing documentary on the subject of water privatization around the globe screened at the 10th Mumbai International film festival India-2008
Hat's off to the Director Irena Salena for her brave attempt which took her five years to complete this wonderful film. I do believe this is a film that should be shone, in schools across the the entire globe.
This film widens the vision you have of the conflict, by letting us see it through the eyes of the poor, innocent and affected people of the world.
I also want to congratulate the director for making such an impact on award ceremonies world wide & winning the International jury award in the International Competition section at the 10th m.i.f.f India 2008.
Keep it up Irena & best of luck for your future projects.
