Our drinking water: is it a public right, or a commercial product? This video illustrates the ongoing battle to define the status of water, while our government prepares to privatize the public water distribution network.

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
