One Water is a film that celebrates all the myriad ways water has touched human lives around the globe-and explores our changing relationship to water as it grows ever more perilously scarce. The film highlights a world where water is exquisitely abundant in some places and dangerously lacking in others, where taps flowing with fresh, clean water are contrasted with toxic, polluted waterways that have turned the blue arteries of our planet murky. One Water leaves audiences with a series of provocative questions that culminate in one that will impact all of our futures: is water a human right or a commodity?
