Hidden Villa Movie Night
City: Hidden Villa
Description:  Is access to clean drinking water a basic human right, or a commodity that should be bought and sold like any other commerce? From the pollution of plastic production to the ocean in which so many of these bottles end up, this inspiring documentary trails the path of the bottled water industry and the communities which were the unwitting chips on the table. A powerful portrait of the lives affected by the bottled water industry, this revelatory film features those caught in the intersection of big business and the public's right to water.
After the film there will be a facilitated discussion on local water issues and what you can do to help.
