Looking at the local impacts of the increasingly dire global water crisis
CO-PRESENTED BY
URBAN ECLIPSE: RISING TIDES OF KEKEKOZIIBII
Jesse Green and Vanda Fleury-Green
CANADA | 2018 | 77 min | Ontario Premiere
Winnipeg Manitoba plays itself in this documentary. Deeply entrenched in the landscape are the growing pains from an aqueduct built in the early 1900’s to feed its water supply. It’s a history that speaks to a dirty truth: The major artery piping clean water to an urban centre has isolated an Anishinaabe community in Treaty 3, robbing them of their own drinking water.
FROM THE GROUND UP
Trent Zulkiewicz and Will Brenninkmeyer
USA | 2020 | 14.5 min | Canadian Premiere
In the semi-arid village of Malolo in Singida, Tanzania, Adija and her surrounding community rely on one water source, a single hole in the ground no larger than the size of an average puddle. FROM THE GROUND UP takes a look into Adija’s daily routine and provides a powerful understanding of the localized impact of the increasingly dire global water crisis.
KEHI CHAINA (THERE IS NOTHING)
Shyam Karki
NEPAL | 2019 | 3 min | North American Premiere
Like many that live in inaccessible terrain, Rama Bahadur Sunar lacks water for his basic needs. KEHI CHAINA depicts the lament as well as the fortitude of this 76-year-old man who trudges up and down hilly trails to fetch water from the nearest source. Each walk of one hour, with containers of water in a doko strapped to his forehead, will last him only two days.
