The public is invited to a free screening of the film "Flow," presented by the Environmental Resource Center and Wood River High School's W.A.T.E.R. group.
The award-winning documentary about the political and environmental implications of water access and use in the 21st century investigates the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with a focus on politics, pollution and human rights.
The New York Times called it "an astonishingly wide-ranging film. An informed and heartfelt examination of the tug of war between public health and private interest."
The film will be shown Tuesday, May 1, from 5-7 p.m. at the Hailey Public Library.
