Angela Bassett on the Water Problem | Breakthrough


a beautiful earth is covered roughly 70%
with water but only 1% of that is usable
by humans for consuming but water is one
of those elements that we need to exist
like oxygen coming to this project one
of the things that I’ve learned is that
there’s no one solution to the water
problem but there are many and a
dialogue about each is important to have
I would most like this film to be an
impetus for inspiring young creative
minds or even mature minds to come up
with innovative ideas to help solve our
water problem first we have to think
about it we have to be concerned about
it we have to know that there is a
problem this film is one of contrasts we
find a community in California and
Arizona where a lifestyle needs to be
maintained that a vast beautiful golf
courses and city parks it’s the absolute
desert but somehow they have found a way
with money and resources to maintain
their particular lifestyle but also we
find ourselves in Ethiopia where just
two gallons of water a day consumed by
individuals requires a six mile journey
to retrieve it and if you’re too tired
are you too ill and you can’t make that
journey then you are just sports to
drink what’s before you and oftentimes
that’s not clean it’s not fresh water
which means you find a host of illnesses
that crop up in basically that o tale of
the haves and the have-nots with water
it’s really basic we either have fresh
clean water and we live or we don’t have
it and we perish all over the world
there are great minds and big hearts who
are coming up with ideas and solutions
to this increasing problem of lack of
water
I see breakthroughs happening all over
the world wherever there’s man and woman
and ingenuity and ideas and curiosity
and strength of purpose there are
solutions
