Irena Salina’s award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century – The World Water Crisis.

Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world’s dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel.

Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question “CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?”

Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.

A feature-length documentary tracking the movement of apocalyptic Christian nationalism from the margins to the mainstream. http://www.silhouettecity.com/

SILHOUETTE CITY is a harrowing free-fall through the near space of American religious extremism. Using archival video, movement propaganda, original investigative material and custom videogame footage, Silhouette City tracks the movement of apocalyptic Christian nationalism from the margins to the mainstream. The film begins with the story of an obscure Christian survivalist group active in the 1970’s and 80’s, as recounted by one of it’s former members, and then moves forward to the current post 9-11 era – where startling ideological
echoes are revealed and examined.

In a period largely defined by religious violence, Silhouette City examines the motivations for adopting apocalyptic worldviews by providing a unique window into the foundational ideas, organizational structure and psychological dynamics of one of the most powerful movements taking root in America today. The film bears witness to the long, dark shadows of fear and intolerance being cast in the familiar landscapes of the homeland.
