Collado, Nocem. La Mujer y el Agua [Women and Water]. India: Nocem Collado, 2013. HD, 58 min. https://youtu.be/DFznzw61SPI.
From birth through to death, water plays an essential role in every stage of life. And in India, as with most poorer societies, it is women who are responsible for finding water, and using it. Women and Water is a beautiful, poetic examination of Indian society through the prism of water and shows how this most elemental of resources is denied to the most needy. Life is water, water is life - no matter whether you’re rich or poor. (Source: Journeyman Pictures)
