Blue Gold: World Water Wars Sam Bozzo :: USA :: 2008 :: 89 mins Using a skill ful blend of expert commentary and documentary footage, this film builds a convincing and often shocking tale of how climate change, population growth, politics, greed and ideology are already combining to create catastrophes of... more the highest order.
