About the film:
Water For Life tells the story of three extraordinary individuals: Berta Cáceres, a leader of the Lenca people in Honduras; Francisco Pineda, a subsistence farmer in El Salvador; and Alberto Curamil, an Indigenous Mapuche leader in Chile, all of whom refused to let government supported industry and transnational corporations take their water and redirect it to mining, hydroelectric projects or large scale agriculture. Despite reassurances from companies and the authorities, they knew what lay ahead: contaminated water, environmental devastation, and the destruction of their communities.
It is a story of courage and determination, betrayal and corruption, death threats and murder, and of unexpected victories in the countryside and in the courts. It is a story that asks how economic development can grow in harmony with environmental protections. Above all, Water For Life illuminates a growing recognition of Indigenous rights and a rising demand for corporate responsibility and environmental justice that’s being seen around the world. It is a story that begins and ends with water.

Acerca de la pelicula:
“Agua para la Vida” (Water For Life) cuenta la historia de tres personas extraordinarias: Berta Cáceres, líder del pueblo Lenca en Honduras; Francisco Pineda, agricultor de subsistencia en El Salvador; y Alberto Curamil, líder indígena Mapuche en Chile, todos ellos se opusieron a que industrias apoyadas por el gobierno y corporaciones transnacionales tomaran su agua y la redirigieran a la minería, proyectos hidroeléctricos o agricultura a gran escala. A pesar de todas las garantías de las empresas y las autoridades, ellos sabían lo que realmente les esperaba: agua contaminada, devastación ambiental y la destrucción de sus comunidades.
Esta es una historia de coraje y determinación, traición y corrupción, amenazas de muerte y asesinato, y de victorias inesperadas en el campo y en los tribunales. Es una historia que plantea la cuestión de cómo el desarrollo económico puede crecer en armonía con la protección ambiental. Lo mejor es que“Agua para la Vida” (Water For Life) arroja luz sobre el creciente reconocimiento de los derechos indígenas y una creciente demanda de responsabilidad corporativa y justicia ambiental que se está viendo en todo el mundo. Es una historia que comienza y termina con el agua.
