The accessibility of clean drinkable water supplies is a problem in many countries. In Argentina, California and South Africa, attempts to privatize this common good gave very mixed and even explosive results. Dead in the Water is an investigation on these efforts of privatization and on the alternative solutions brought by citizens.
After the screening, MIE members will discuss water privatization in Africa and in Montreal, and its consequences on the local population.
The event is organized in partnership with Cinema Politica and the Société environnementale de Côte-des-Neiges.
