\n
\nThe documentary, which is based on the book Blue Gold: The Fight to Stop the Corporate Theft of the World’s Water<\/a>\"\", examines both current and future economic and political crises surrounding global water shortages, as well as water privitization<\/a> and other topics.<\/p>\n

The film’s thesis is summed up on its website<\/a>, which states: ‘Wars of the future will be fought over water, as they are over oil today, as our Blue Gold, the source of human survival, enters the global marketplace and political arena as a commodity to be sought out, fought over, and conquered…”. Numerous examples of the struggle for basic water rights across the globe are featured throughout the film.<\/p>\n
