"Water on the Table" film screening
7pm - 9pm @ Ekchardt-Grammate -

In partnership with Gallery 1C03 and Cinema Politica, the UWSA is pleased to invite students, faculty, staff, and the community to a free screening of Water on the Table. The evening will begin with a video introduction by Maude Barlowe, with facilitated discussion following the film.

Water On The Table is a character-driven, social-issue documentary that explores Canada's relationship to its freshwater, arguably its most precious natural resource. The film asks the question: is water a commercial good like running shoes or Coca-Cola, or is water a human right, like air?
