Well, we've just heard back from the Vail International Film Festival, where FLOW won the top prize for Best Documentary.  We also won Best Human Interest Film at the Flagstaff Film Festival, and we're now closing in on theatrical distribution in the US. 

FLOW is on the move! We can feel the momentum building, and we’re thrilled. Cory Doctorow of BoingBoing just gave us a wonderful review, calling FLOW “infuriating and incredible”. Those two words well describe the global water crisis; the more one learns, the more we are motivated to do something! If you are motivated to action, there's a great list of organizations you can work with on our take action page. 

Here's what BoingBoing had to say:

“I've just watched Irena Salina's incredible, infuriating documentary FLOW: For Love of Water, a film about the often-invisible and underreported global water crisis. Ranging from widespread US contamination to the tragedy of developing nations who are forced by the World Bank to sell their water companies like Vivendi, Suez and Thames, who get sweetheart deals to offer substandard, overpriced monopoly water service, at terrible cost to human life.

Global water profiteering is at the center of a global healthcare crisis that kills more people than AIDS or malaria. The film shows the grim reality of water in Asia, Africa, South and Central America, and the USA. The mortality is awful, and not just from bad water or no water -- also from police forces in states like Bolivia who go to war against people whose water supply has been sold to foreign multinationals who are reaping windfall profits while they die.”

Onward, Flow!
