2012 | 105 minutes | Rated PG-13
One of the scariest Outrage Docs. The world is running out of safe drinking water, due to a combination of climate change, population growth, and poor public policy. Inspired by Alex Prud’homme’s book The Ripple Effect, filmmaker Jessica Yu (In the Realms of the Unreal) zigzags across the globe, from Las Vegas to Australia to Palestine to Michigan, to show how dangerous the situation has become – while talking heads including Erin Brockovich-Ellis explain that government can’t, or won’t, save us from pollution and heedless waste. One answer: recycled water (from sewer systems). Another: never, ever buy bottled water. This well constructed doc may lead to nightmares. (105 min.)
Director: Jessica Yu
Producer: Carol Baum, David Helpern, Jeff Skoll and Diane Weyermann
