One Water, GLOBAL HEALTH SYMPOSIUM

Foege Auditorium
Seattle, WA


Seattle Human Rights Film Festival, in partnership with
the UW Global Health Resource Center, proudly presents:


ONE WATER

Sanjeev Chatterjee - USA - 2007 - 68 min

We look around us and see water everywhere. The earth is a planet lined with vast arterial networks of streams, rivers and oceans; a sky that opens up and unleashes rain and snow; pipes and taps that have long serviced washing machines, icemakers, swimming pools and spas. So how can we suddenly be facing a threatening global water crisis?

Now, at a time when more than half of the world is imperiled by imminent water shortages, One Water celebrates the poignant emotional life of water and the myriad ways it washes through the global human experience  in moments of joy, struggle, labor, conflict and hope. A voyage through five years, 14 countries and a multitude of uncounted miles, the film portrays a direct and personal experience of waters beauty, utility and wonder  and also raises the provocative and important question: What are we doing now to ensure the worlds children will have access to all that this universal source of life has to offer?

Note: The Seattle Human Rights Film Festival (SHRFF) celebrates the invaluable contribution filmmakers offer to raising public awareness and understanding of often overlooked human rights issues. 2009 promises to be our most successful year yet! Featuring a variety of special engagements at premiere Seattle venues, an exceptionally impressive selection of 16 cutting-edge documentaries, and a wealth of guest speakers that will include award-winning filmmakers, producers, activists, genocide survivors and academics, SHRFF '09 is a human rights event not to be missed. Come show your support for cinema with a social conscience! Complete film festival information is available at www.shrff.org.
