Monthly screening of a variety of subjects pertaining to our environment & sustainability

Thursday, August 19th ~ Veterans Memorial Bldg
Corner of Court & Ward in Downtown Martinez

(#1) Blue Gold ~ World Water Wars

BEST ENVIRONMENTAL FILM ~ AUDIENCE CHOICE – WINNER
VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2008

Wars of the future will be fought over water, as they are today over oil, as the source of all life enters the global marketplace and political arena. Corporate giants, private investors and corrupt governments vie for control of our dwindling fresh water supply, promoting protests, lawsuits and revolutions from citizens fighting for the right to survive. Past civilizations have collapsed from poor water management. Will ours too?

Based on the groundbreaking book Blue Gold: The Fight to Stop the Corporate Theft of the World’s Water by Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke.

“A must see film for every person on the planet.” ~ GREENMUZE.COM
