Synopsis "thirst,fighting the corporate theft of our water (in English)"
Out of sight of most Americans, global corporations like Nestlé, Suez, and Veolia are rapidly buying up our local water sources--lakes, streams, and springs--and taking control of public water services.

The authors' PBS documentary Thirst showed how communities around the world are resisting the privatization and commodification of water.
