"People do not drink words." Benedict Chacha, Tanzania
In 2003, thousands of people arrived in Kyoto, Japan, for the Third World Water Forum. An enormous trade show, the WWF is also an opportunity for transnational corporations and governments to present far-reaching strategies for managing and financing water. Grassroots activists attended for the first time in 2003, determined to present alternatives. Reclaiming Water is their story. Well known participants include authors Vandana Shiva (Water Wars) and Maude Barlow (Blue Gold: The Fight to End the Corporate Theft of the World's Water). The 35-min.-long documentary interweaves personal stories, strategy sessions, and analysis with striking footage of Japan. It was partially funded by Global Ministries of United Methodist Women and sponsored by Action Against Hunger.
