Offering 1- Water Politics and People
Workshop leader: Elizabeth
Staff Coordinator: Elizabeth
Location: Elizabeth’s room
Maximum Number: 15
Description: Together we will watch a documentary called Drowned Out. This simple film, shot with no budget, no electricity and no Hindi, follows a family through hunger strikes, rallies, police brutality and rising water in central India as they take a stand against the construction of the giant Narmada Dam. If built, the dam would flood their village and their choices are to move to the city slums, relocate to a barren resettlement site with no drinking water, or stay at home and drown. At the center is the question of whether or not the water will go to poor farmers or rich industrialists. After watching and discussing the film students will read from Vandana Shiva’s important book Water Wars: Privatization, Pollution and Profit and complete a short piece of writing.
Students in Globalization class are encouraged to choose this workshop.
