Fresh water is running out faster than most people realize, and this film argues that the coming century's wars will be fought over it rather than oil. Sam Bozzo builds the case from a string of flashpoints: Cochabamba, Bolivia, where a Bechtel subsidiary's takeover of the municipal water supply sparked riots that forced the company out; Michigan communities fighting bottling operations draining the Great Lakes basin; and farmers in India left with dry wells after aquifers were pumped past recovery. Interviews with water activist Maude Barlow, engineers, and hydrologists lay out how dams, pipelines, and bottling plants have turned a public resource into a traded commodity, with multinational corporations buying up utilities and water rights in country after country. The film moves between courtroom fights, protest footage, and maps of shrinking aquifers to show how scarcity is already redrawing political alliances and triggering conflict along shared rivers. It ends less as an environmental warning than a blunt prediction: control of water, not oil, will decide the next century's fights.
