Last call at the oasis. An oasis, yeah- a paradise in a desert. A place, an impossible place with water.
I remember.
I remember when I was seven years old, a girl looked me in the eye and said to me, "your eyes are so blue, they're like two little blue pools. Like an oasis".
She was one of the counselors at my after school program at the time. 10 years my Senior. We had to wait.
So waited I did. Those long and lonely nights counting down the decade, with each year, each month, each day, each hour- no! Every second I was away from her, my very first- my only.
Sooner than it felt possible. I was seventeen.…
A peppy, fact-filled, well-traveled, thorough, and extremely depressing documentary about the impending global water crises we find ourselves on the precipice of. Rather than focus on any sort of poisoning of the water supply, the emphasis tends to be more towards the excess consumption draining supplies and the consequences of climate change that are deteriorating replenishment resources. It highlights several areas of the world, but focuses heavily on the US, where there is as few as a single decade left before catastrophic water emergencies must be declared. Towards the latter half, it gets a little too fluffy in its attempts to sell us on water recycling - an excellent idea, but presented as a joke via Jack Black. There's also…
beautifully done. very impactful and powerful, everything a good environmental documentary should be
We're doing a segment on water for the final week of school in science class, and for some reason both of the documentaries we've watched have featured The Adventures of Junior Raindrop. Very strange.
One of the most alarming (alarmist?) claims of this doc is that within four years they anticipate that the Hoover Dam will cease producing power (or sufficient power) due to lowering water depth of Lake Mead. Depending on when that claim was actually made that is in a couple years. Las Vegas mayor soundbytes seem to substantiate the dire situation, but instead of hearing of this as the crisis it is made out to be, in mainstream media I get to hear about Justin Bieber's birthday disappointment. Las Vegas may turn into a dead zone and it is just business as usual, but of course, we over-drill, over-fish, over-deforest, over-eat, over-consume just to keep the economy on the brink of collapse. This junkie culture is terrifying and docs like this play as horror.
Compelling storytelling and vitally important topic. Everyone needs to watch this movie and DARK WATER.

i had to watch this documentary for school and i thoroughly enjoyed it.
this film really shed a light on how water crises take place in the US all the time, not just in 3rd world countries like we are led to believe.
it’s also very interesting to see how people turn a blind eye to the water shortages that are happening and will continue to happen in the future.
it’s not too late to change, watch this doc and enlighten yourself
