Residents of Highland Park, Michigan, known as the birthplace of the auto industry, have received water bills as high as $10,000; they have had their water turned off and are struggling to keep water, a basic human right, from becoming privatized.
"The Water Front" is the story of an American City in crisis, but it is not just about water. The story touches on the very essence of our democratic system and is an unnerving indication of what's in store for residents around the world facing their own water struggles. (53 minutes, 2007)
DVD Special Features include: Versions in English, Spanish , French, and English captions for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing; interviews with Maude Barlow, Vivenne Bennett, plus the award-winning seven-minute short of "The Water Front."
