H2Organize: World Water Day 2026

Water is the lynchpin of organic life, the cornerstone of all ecosystems. Yet despite its centrality to our planet, water remains a precarious resource in need of defense from extractive industries. To celebrate World Water Day, we’ve curated a program of three titles that advocate for the sanctity of water. These films span from protests against Ontario landfill sites (WATER ON THE TABLE) to a nation-wide water solidarity march in Peru (DAUGHTER OF THE LAKE) to community mobilization in defense of freshwater preservation in Colombia (CRUDE GOLD: THE CASE OF ECO ORO).
