  • "There's a problem with the world's water supply. One person in four doesn't have access to clean drinking water. Many governments lack either the resources or the will to provide this essential commodity to their citizens. In recent years, a number of powerful companies have spotted this crisis and seen a business opportunity. From the deserts of California to the streets of Soweto, and in several thousand other cities and towns throughout the world, often with the involvement of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, these corporations have attempted to privatize what many consider a public trust. Dead in the Water investigates the results of these efforts at privatization in several key locations, and chronicles what many see as the first in a wave of battles in the years to come."
  • "1967 Israeli torpedo attack on USS Liberty off Sinai coast during Six-Day War. Loss of life and US intelligence equipment. Case of mistaken identity, as claimed, or deliberate strike? Survivors' accounts. Revelations of conspiracy, cover-up, narrowly avoided erroneous retaliation against Egypt."

  • "Water. We can't live without it. We can't make more of it. Demand for it is growing. Three multinational companies want to solve the world's water problems by taking over supply and delivery from government bodies -- in other words, to privatize what was once considered public trust, one of the essential elements of life. In some places, "private water" seems to be working, but in others, the result has been nothing short of disastrous. This ambitious documentary shows in disturbing detail what's going on with the world's water."@en
  • "Examines the growing trend to privatize water resources in response to water shortages throughout the world."@en
  • "There is a problem with the world's water supply. One in four people on earth does not have access to clean drinking water. Water and sanitisation infrastructures are crumbling and this documentary looks at how we keep using more water, yet continue to degrade and deplete it. When powerful companies spotted this crisis, they identified it as a business opportunity. From the deserts of California to the slums of Buenos Aires and Soweto to corporate boardrooms in the United States and France, this documentary investigates the results of the effort to privatise what many consider a public trust.
