Our drinking water; is it a public right or a commercial product? This film illus -trates the ongoing battle to define the status of water, while our government prepares to privatize the public water distribution network. Against the backdrop of a system of laws powerless to stop the potential redirection of rivers towards the US, our aquifer are being depleted by foreign companies uninterested in the regenerative capacity of this resource, so valuable to our ecosystems. Once again, society's less fortunate will suffer the consequences of the commercialization of a vital resource that is essential to the survival of our planet. Indeed, the battle for the future of water is only part of a greater struggle to prevent the world itself from becoming a commercial product.
