Without water, there is no life, no civilization, no economic development. Water is dammed to produce energy, it is diverted to turn desert into farmland and to make cities habitable - usually with devastating consequences. The documentary WATERMARK, by award-winning director Jennifer Baichwal and internationally acclaimed photographer Edward Burtynsky, invites viewers on an awe-inspiring journey to various places around the world that have been profoundly altered by human intervention in the water cycle. Burtynsky is known for his high-resolution photographs documenting the far-reaching consequences of human impact on the natural world, and demonstrates this in WATERMARK. In fascinating images, the film shows viewers the universal importance of water for humans and the significance of this important resource for the future.
