This is the comeback film screening of the Docu Circle of Hyderabad.

You drink it, you swim in it, you survive on it. It's time you knew the truth about it. Release year: 2011 Directed by: Jessica Yu Duration: 1hr 40mins Rating: PG13 (for some bad language and a lot of bad news) Synopsis 1 A documentary by first-time filmmaker Jessica Yu, which tackles the macro issue of a possible impending water crisis in a macro way. Last Call at the Oasis offers not only solutions that are being examined and soon to be implemented ways to steer us away from economical uncertainty if we begin to lose our dependence on water, but also explores a number of different issues and smaller little conflicts that makeup and define the grandiose term " water crisis." We open with a quote frighteningly stating that we could soon be fighting wars over water instead of oil. People have taken for granted the seemingly unlimited supply of water we've been blessed to have, but with a simple turn of the tap or even a trip to a nearby shop, we have access to as much water as we can get our hands-on. One man states how our water supply is " infinite and exhaustible," and how water is constantly reused, but we are beginning to dispose of it at a rate so fast and uncontrollable that we are approaching a darker future, where water will be harder to access and even more difficult to store. Contamination and the popularity of bottled water are tackled here as well. As we see the poignant images of women around the world lugging barrels of water at their sides or on their heads, returning to a place where not a drop is in sight, while we make a trip to the store to purchase bottled water and return home to a place where a simple turn of a tap can give us more of the same thing, we question the logic of the situation and the complete and total arrogance of it all. We've been told time and time again that bottled water is allegedly better for us and are under the impression that it is more closely monitored than traditional tap water. Yet a close look proves us naive, as even in the US, there have been hundreds of recalls of bottled water because of contamination, glass particles in the water, and even mould.

The screening will be followed by a discussion.
