"It's an eloquent cry of despair about the perils facing our most precious resource that is powerful enough to inspire audiences to action without boring them for a single frame."
—Rene Rodgriguez, Miami Herald

Water... a constant of life...


For this hauntingly beautiful film, the filmmaker journeyed to five continents and sixteen countries to explore the crisis of our world water supply. Designed to connect with all ages, One Water teaches what we should already know, that all humanity lives in this world of finite resources together. This poetic and powerful lesson complements beautiful images with interviews with the Dalai Lama and Robert F. Kennedy, among others, and a score written by composer Thomas M. Sleeper and recorded by the Russian National Orchestra.

Rating:
Suitable for all audiences.

Contemporary Arts Alliance wishes to acknowledge the partnership of Sanjeev Chatterjee and Ali Habashi in presenting One Water.

O

n a freezing night, Soft as Snow and Cold as Ice meet Thomas, a drunken young man who is dumped by police on the outskirts of town. Will Thomas join his elders or return to the city to tell his story? This oftentimes humorous and important story was inspired by the freezing deaths of several First Nations men, which put Canada on Amnesty International's list of human rights abuses.
