Virginia Union University is hosting a virtual event “The Water Front” on February 15, 2021 from 6:30PM-8:00PM EST.
Virginia Union University is proud to host this film as part of the 11th Annual RVA Environmental Film Festival.
About this Event:
The Water Front is the story of an American city in crisis but it is not just about water. The story touches on the very essence of our democratic system and is an unnerving indication of what is in store for residents around the world facing their own water struggles. The film raises questions such as: Who determines the future of shared public resources? What are alternatives to water privatization? How will we maintain our public water systems and who can we hold accountable?
A discussion of the water access issues raised in the film with panelist Dr. Abdullah and Dr. Harris, will follow the film. You will be able to ask questions using a chat box.
