Water Makes Money (2010)

10 to 15 years ago a wave of privatizations of our water supply started, which has been propagating since all over the world. No one calls it anymore Privatization but PublicPrivatePartnership.In these days of limited public finances, budgeting competence is at least as important as the technical mastering of water management. Many communities however are risking to be cheated by superior corporate groups. The movie shows how the 'money printing machines' of these corporations work, especially in France and in German cities like Berlin or Braunschweig. But all over the world people resist: Water in public hands is necessary and possible!
