Blue Gold : World Water Wars

This is the trailer for the film Blue Gold: World Water Wars, a documentary that explores the current and emerging world water crisis from an ecological, social, and political standpoint.

Through examining Court cases, U.N. conventions, local protests, and numerous situations where people are struggling for their basic right to water, Blue Gold reveals the breadth of what we face unless there are changes to the way the world’s water is managed.

With over one billion people in the world having little or no access to clean and safe water; and with almost 2 million children dying each year because of it, such war is not a far fetched guess.

By most estimates, in about 25 years, as much as two-thirds of the world’s population will be living in conditions of water scarcity; and the demand for water will outweigh the world supply by half. There are already some 30 Nation States currently facing serious water shortages.
