Trailer „Be Water – From Andes to Amazonia

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Water is the esence of all life. It drews the Earth and the history of mankind.
But it can turn into danger, when men want to control its flow. And it can even become poison when they put mercury, arsenic …
The rivers of Bolivia – the veins of the heart of South America – are turning black, red and even disappearing. Community members and specialists warn of these realities.
In the Beni River, mega dam projects and the massive use of mercury endanger the Amazon ecosystem.
In Huanuni, community members who live near the mines express their concern when seeing their territory destroyed by corrupted waters.
In Cochabamba, an emblematic city for its Water War, the vital liquid continues to be a daily concern for the population. The water from the dams destined for La Paz and Alto is contaminated and follows its deadly cycle to Lake Titicaca.

The issue of water is becoming more worrying every year and by not treating this vital element with respect, we embark on a critical situation, in Bolivia or worldwide.
We have to listen to these testimonies and join our efforts to find solutions now. It is urgent !

This documentary wants to be a pedagogical base to reflect and build alternatives. Cartoons and original music make it easy to navigate from one river to another.
