I, the undersigned, call upon the United Nations to:
affirm that access to safe, clean water is an inalienable human right, not a tradeable commodity; enact
binding legislation preventing the privatisation of water that prioritises profit over survival; and hold
all governments and corporations accountable.
About the Film
Water is not just a resource. It is the bloodstream of our planet.
The essence of every life form, and the thread connecting faith, science, and survival. Every Living Thing follows the story of water from ancient prophecy to modern commodification, and asks who pays the price when it becomes power.

The Science of Water
Water as mystery, biology, memory, and system. The element that makes life possible and now reveals the fragility of our future.
Commodification & Control
What was once a birthright has become a market. Traded, priced, extracted, and controlled.
Human Cost & Weaponization
When water becomes power, communities pay in health, dignity, displacement, and survival.
