This month:
We are excited to present a unique portrait of water justice and the exploitation of water resources in Latin America and beyond by Northwest London World Development Movement.

In recent years, Latin America has seen failed water privatisations and massive public protests from Cochabamba and El Alto in Bolivia to Argentina, successful alternative cooperative schemes in places like Brazil and a public referendum outlawing water privatisation in Uruguay...but this struggle against making our natural resources a commodity is also happening worldwide!

This month's films focus on the global nature of this fight but there will be time for discussion of Latin American experiences, UK campaigns and the ways that water privatisation represents larger trends towards eradicating essential public services and human rights in favour of the private sector and multinational corporations. We hope to see you there!

Films from 7.30:

Dirty Aid, Dirty Water

World Development Movement, 2005
Length: 15 mins

Introduction to the World Development Movement's (WDM) Dirty Aid, Dirty Water campaign, the film explores the global water crisis, the trend towards privatisation of water service and its failure to provide water services to the world's poorest. The campaign exposes how British aid money is being used to push water privatisation on poor countries - making it less likely that clean water will ever get to the poorest people. And while poor people lose out, a group of big UK companies are profiting from this aid.

Thirst

Alan Snitow and Deborah Kaufman, 2004
Length: 35 mins

Thirst visits communities in Bolivia, India, Japan, and Stockton, California showing how corporations are rapidly buying up local water supplies. Communities suddenly lose control of their most precious resources. Thirst , a character-driven documentary with no narration, reveals how water is the catalyst for explosive community resistance to globalization.

A World Without Water

C4, 2005

Length: 90 mins

Billions of people do not have access to safe water. Environmental change threatens to make this situation worse but a more immediate danger is emerging. Control of the world's water is falling into the hands of the rich and water may soon take the place of oil as the world's most tradeable - and coveted - commodity - rather than a basic human right.
