Water is the liquid gold of the 21st century. While corporations urge local governments to privatize municipal water, communities around the world are organizing to ensure affordable access to this life sustaining resource. The Water Front is the story of one community’s determination to fight the seemingly inevitable path of water privatization |

"The community leaders profiled in The Water Front are good examples of the wealth of talent and experience among older adults that’s ready to be tapped for solving social problems. The film is very much in line with Civic Ventures’ mission to reframe the debate about the aging of America by redefining the second half of life as a source of social and individual renewal." —David Banks, Executive Director, Civic Ventures "If you care about water and your ability to access it, you need to see The Water Front." —Ezra Winton, Programmer of Cinema Politica “As water becomes scarcer and more expensive globally, managers of poor cities like HP all over will be tempted to sell their most precious commodity even if they are unable to provide water to their own communities. They need viable alternative models and a commons movement that shares their dilemmas so that our beautiful Great Lakes water does not succumb to the Siren’s call of the quick and fickle market.” —Eunice Yu, Freelance Journalist |
