One Water

Directed by

Filmed in 15 countries over a period of 5 years production, the film reveals the magical element in the connection between man and water, a source of life and spiritual purification practiced by various religions, sometimes the vehicle of contagion and death, too often in the hands of the privileged few. From India to Hungary, from the U.S. to Kenya, the film tells many different stories with water as the main figure, but also raises a disturbing question: what are we doing now so that future generations will have enough water? With numerous expert testimonies (Dalai Lama, Vandana Shiva, Robert F. Kennedy) and soundtrack music performed by the Russian National Orchestra.

Director's Notes

«The power of this film must lie in very much in its images. [...] It's really about the emotional moments that water creates everywhere in the world. One Water was born out of a sense of deep urgency – the world faces a water crisis of staggering proportions. Today one out every five people on the planet has no consistent access to clean water for the daily necessities of drinking. bathing, fishing and cooking – and that number keeps growing».

Pure from its source, uncontaminated and bottled in plastic, this essential element is both wasted and sought after like a treasure, too much or too little in a changing world.
