Thirsty Turtles UMD and Beyond the Classroom presents the documentary, "Water on the Table"
Description:
Water On The Table is a character-driven, social-issue documentary that explores Canadas relationship to its freshwater, arguably its most precious natural resource. The film asks the question: is water a commercial good like running shoes or Coca-Cola? Or, is water a human right like air?
Water On The Table features Maude Barlow, who is considered an international water-warrior for her crusade to have water declared a human right. Water must be declared a public trust and a human right that belongs to the people, the ecosystem and the future, and preserved for all time and practice in law. Clean water must be delivered as a public service, not a profitable commodity.
This film co-sponsored by Beyond the Classroom Living & Learning Program and Thirsty Turtles UMD https://www.facebook.com/ThirstyTurtlesUmd?fref=ts.
