WATER FOR LIFE tells the dramatic story of three community leaders in Latin America who resisted government and corporate plans to divert critical local water resources to mining and hydroelectric projects. It is a story of courage and determination, betrayal and corruption, death threats and murder, as well as unexpected victories in communities and the courts. A story that begins and ends with water, it asks how economic development can grow in harmony with environmental protections. WATER FOR LIFE illuminates a growing recognition of Indigenous rights and a rising demand for corporate responsibility and environmental justice around the world.
