    I’m not seeing any full length movies for this year (Like last year who killed the electric car was recomended). My youth leaders have been tasked to find a movie that would fit this year’s theme and they found the movie FLOW (Preview it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGd9D4J0lag). Has anybody watched this documentary? Any oppinions on it?

    Hi Joseph,
    the movie “Flow” is also listed in our list of “Water Justice Movies”.
    You can find additional movies here:

    I can highly recommend the movie ‘Water on the table’ by Liz Marshall.
