ABOUT WATER tells an inconvenient truth, but one that receives considerably less press than the issue of global warming. Director Maurer traverses the Third World to tell a three-part story of water: essentially, the equally disastrous plights surrounding too much, too little, and not a drop to drink. From a flooded river delta in Bangladesh to a Kazakhstan desert to the slums of Nairobi, this probing and provocative film questions the shockingly flawed stewardship of one of the earth’s greatest resources.
