miniseries, 1992. Directed by Maxine Baker and based on Daniel
Yergin's book of the same name.)
This exciting and entertaining eight-part series, based on Daniel

Thirst (Dirs. Alan Snitow and Deborah Kaufman, 2004).
Grade Level: 10-12, College, Adult
Is water part of a shared "commons", a human right for
all people? Or is it a commodity to be bought, sold, and traded
in a global marketplace? Thirst tells the stories of communities
in Bolivia, India, and the United States that are asking these
fundamental questions, as water becomes the most valuable global
resource of the 21st Century. A character-driven documentary with
no narration, Thirst reveals how the debate over water
rights between communities and corporations can serve as a catalyst
for explosive and steadfast resistance to globalization. Study
guide available.
