Itinerary:
Water, water is everywhere in this NFB ode to the Great Lakes. Co-produced with Primitive Entertainment Inc., Waterlife tells the epic story of our continent's Great Lakes not only as an essential resource area, but also through the voices of both human and animal inhabitants. Water has been called "blue gold" and many thoughtful people consider the ways we treat, mistreat and commoditize this life-giving fluid to be of the utmost importance for ongoing debate. The National Film Board website calls Waterlife a "cinematic poem about the beauty of water and the dangers of taking it for granted." Soundtrack lovers will be treated to music from Sigur Ros, Sufjan Stevens, Robbie Robertson, Sam Roberts and Brian Eno.

Meet in the library lobby between 5:45 and 6:15. The movie starts at 6:30. We will go in together as a group at 6:15 - to get the good seats!
