At the beginning of the 21st century, rapid development in countries with a large population, environmental deterioration and climate change threaten the world’s water supply and thus food resources. Will man be able to feed the planet while preserving nature?
The film takes us to more than a dozen countries to meet men and women who propose solutions and captures the emotions of families that benefit from them.
Let’s announce this good news right now: there is more than enough water for everyone on our planet! It is very unevenly distributed and making it available to men is difficult, but possible.
There is also less good news: water is increasingly polluted or carrying diseases. Every year, it kills millions of innocent people. This film shows the struggle to stop this plague.
