If only water would FLOW as fluidly as vinyasa at Jivamukti,… FLOW: FOR THE LOVE OF WATER plays tonight, Friday May 29, 8:00pm

This award-winning Documentary On The World Water Crisis by Irena Salina  investigates what experts label the most important  political and environmental issue of the 21st Century – The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world?s  water supply with a focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a world water cartel.  Interviews with scientists and activists reveal the rapidly building crisis at the global and human scale.  FLOW introduces  governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, and questions “CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?”  Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW  provides practical solutions to the water crisis.
