Fighting for Water
The Water Justice Film Festival will feature seven films that explore the human struggle to access water in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and the United States. Festival selections include a range of films dealing with water justice: a hypnotizing and personal tale of water scarcity in Burkina Faso, a story of the campaigns against corporate privatization, edifying reports on the new role of water in geopolitics, and raw guerrilla films that portray the violence and emotions of civil struggle.
The festival runs from Wednesday, April 21, through Tuesday, April 27, and screenings will be held at several locations. For the complete schedule, see below.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
