After attending the movie Flow on Monday, I have had many different feeling about the information the movie provided. The movie made many points about the water supply running out for people to drink and all the harmful chemicals we are polluting the water supply with. If I do not recall, I was taught growing up that water goes through a cycle and is not capable of running out on us.
The arguments throughout the movie had people saying that it was the scariest movie they have ever seen, and feel they need to help in some ways to protect the remaining water we have on earth. The movie also stated, at the rate we are consuming the water; it could kill off humans in the next twenty years. After hearing all this, I just kept coming back to the thoughts that humans have already found different types of technology to clean the salt water for drinking water. I just did not find this portion of the movie very life threatening or “scary” as others would say.
On the other hand, the film discussed the fact that humans have been polluting the waters with harmful chemicals. They discussed a specific situation going on in poor countries over seas where Coca Cola has built manufacturing plants that are using up all the water supply and also polluting the water supply that many different groups of people use for drinking water in there communities. This I do not deal with first hand, but knowing that companies are polluting water supply that people are drinking out of because they do not have enough money to pay for clean water is wrong. They instead are threatening people’s lives and on top of that charging them for the water that they are in a sense taking from the communities.
