Watermark.jpgIn honour of World Water Day and Canada’s Water Week, we’re kicking off our 2015 Eco-film Festival with an extraordinary awarding winning documentary by Canadian filmmakers: Watermark.

 

"An immersive experience, with stunning visual language, that will transform the way we think about water, and our relationship to it." - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

 

Bringing together diverse stories from around the globe, this incredible film explores our human relationships with water -both how water shapes us and how we shape water. With mind-boggling sights of the construction of the biggest arch dam in the world in Xiluodu, China to the critical discussions of global warming by scientists from the National Ice Laboratory in Greenland, the majesty and beauty of water and it’s critical value in our lives and the detriment of what we’re doing to it make this a must see movie for everyone!
