Poverty is what creates wealth for the rich. For some to be rich - most have to be poor

[@moodyrick8503]

Great story and very well done. People need to realize safe water is a matter of life or death, and that it's going to get worse without great efforts by us all.

[@watchdust]

Safe water should be readily accessible for all living beings-plants, animals, and humans. Thanks for your thoughtful comment and have a great Earth Day!

[@anydaynow01]

Agreed, it should start with trying to mitigate the pollution of our water supplies instead of polluting it even more with plastic water bottle waste. Thirty years ago no one would have been able to convince me the bottle water industry is as powerful as it is today.

[@brianswelding]

Did you guys know that water is already being traded on the stock market? All the world's water resources will be owned by huge companies if it stays on this track.

Excellent. And the plot timing is pure justice. The board has gone mercenary, he's losing his company and they are losing their monopoly.

[@Low_commotion]

And Frey now has plausible deniability when the board accuses him of open-sourcing the design. George might eventually be locked up, but his daughter is saved & the design for EVA is now public domain irrevocably.

[@anydaynow01]

This was such a great film and illustrates how precious our water supplies are. We should really think twice about our bottled water use also, it just leads to a negative feed back loop. Home distillation and reusable bottles will help out immensely, as well as the prevention of polluting and misuse of the water in the first place.

[@wobblysauce]

The water bottles are reusable, but many treat them like 1-time use.

[@brklpylmz]

It's hard to admit that you're in fault even if deep inside you know that by heart. Heart was taken over by greed, ambition. Sad thing is that we're closing in to this very seen. Wish humanity gather around together, not judging, not alienating each other and have a seat on table called science where there is no race, gender, a winner but solution to what's upcoming.

[@lalaland962]

Wonderful! What a great film!

[@timnorthstar3268]

A very telling, and relevant, story. Well made and very slick in the production, believable characters all went together very well indeed. The scariest thing about it is the fact that world population growth, demand and production will continue to strain ALL resources. The world's BIGGEST corporations need to get behind sustainability before it's too late.

No. He is still in a company. Under a new boss. He saw on George he can finish the work. He can lose/give his own property but not the company secret. He faced the reality at least but still had a corporate mind.

The CEO guy was kinda scary. Even after helping the little people. I thought he was going to set him up.

[@quitlife9279]

I thought it was an ambiguous ending, the George character's face clearly showed that he didn't know to believe him or not either, and we don't actually know if the security really did let George go... It may have just been a way to get the guy who is clearly desperate calmly out of the room, it certainly didn't show any further communications with security to release him.

[@arpanagarwal2524]

@@quitlife9279 The CEO probably did give the device away, as he is shown to be weary of the board of directors clamouring for more clout in the company he built, leading to him quitting. He has already quit the corporate game, his wife expresses her non-interest in their high-society lifestyle.
