La grande sete

Summary

Over the last hundred years, global water consumption has skyrocketed, but for most of the population in the poorest countries, access to drinking water is still a mirage. And the risk of wars breaking out between states to secure this precious resource is still very high. Piero Badaloni's documentary analyzes this global problem, highlighting data on current water use and consumption, the role of Italy and other countries around the world, the problem of water degradation and pollution, and the growing gap between the North and South of the world.
