"I could see your movie
being REMADE by producer/star Sandra Bullock...and being a box

The
mission is to raise awareness and funds
for the
Global Water Crisis,
and I need your
help.
Imagine...
Leaving the movie theatre with a smile, AND knowing you have
helped others get water they so desperately

hope!
The purpose of this website isn't to
show you depressing photos of the reality of the current situation

some of the problems. This quote is from the
Global Water
Challenge.
"Unprecedented collaboration between all sectors of society is needed in order to achieve sustanable solutions to this challenge."
That
means we must work together! Let's Do It!

SO...
Specific and subtle scenes have been added to the script that exemplify water conservation actions that everyone can do.
By the way, look at how much we spend
on movies! It's more than what is spent on all
theme parks and all sporting events combined. (pg
