35 million people rely on the Great Lakes for water. In fact, the lakes comprise one-fifthof the world’s fresh surface water supply and nine-tenths of the U.S. supply. That’s why their survival is of prime concern. WaterLife is a film documenting everything impacting the lakes, from water abuse to invasive species, introducing viewers to some of the amazing people interacting with the lakes, as well as some very unique vantage points of the waters.
Part documentary, part poetry, part visual experience, the film itself sounds facinating, but so too is the interactive website for WaterLife. It lists various factors that impact and celebrate water, and as you click on them, a visual and aural experience unfolds, feeding you statistics and information in an appealing way. It’s well worth setting time aside to explore this very cool website and add to your water IQ.
As water issues stroll further into the limelight, presenting information in an artistic way will become more important in making an impact on people. WaterLife looks to be succeeding at this.
Screenings for the film run throughout July and into August in Ontario.
