"Modern industrial agriculture is destroying the earth: desertification, water scarcity, toxic cocktails of 
agricultural chemicals pervading our food chains, ocean ecosystem collapse, soil erosion and massive loss of 
soil fertility. Our ecosystems ore overwhelmed. Humanity's increasing demands are exceeding the Earth's 
carrying capacity. A simple recipe to save the world? One old man and a bucket of cow-shit. Are you crazy?"

Also from same makers: "Divine Water will explore water consciousness and how we must embrace a new way of 
thinking if the Earth is to survive.Divine Water is a film about the mystery, science and politics of water.
'More energy is encapsulated in every drop of good spring water than an average-sized power station.'
