A documentary on the world’s water crisis.
Although it covers 70 percent of the earth’s surface,
there is a very real possibility that in the near future, there won’t be enough water to sustain life on the planet. This documentary illuminates the vital role water plays in our lives, exposes the defects in the current system and shows communities already struggling with its ill-effects and individuals championing revolutionary solutions. Firmly establishing the urgency of the global water crisis as the central issue facing our world this century, the film posits that we can manage this problem if we are willing to act now.
Inspired by the book “The Ripple Effect” by Alex Prud’homme, “Last Call at the Oasis,” is from Participant Media, the company that brought you “Page One,” “An Inconvenient Truth,” “Food, Inc.,” and “Waiting for Superman.
