In 2018, Cape Town narrowly averted completely running out of drinking water. In a country sitting 29th on the list of water-scarce places in the world, this became a ghastly harbinger of things to come. The city council committed to take urgent action to protect the supply of water by enforcing a policy of limited access. Capturing Water follows the unfolding fight, led by working class activist Faeza Meyer, to overturn water cuts-offs, which are punitive to the Cape's many poor and crowded dwellings. From the mayor self-financing crucial infrastructure to the communities living with sewage spills, and the campaigners fighting land developers that threaten the city's aquifers, this expertly-crafted documentary exposes the lethal pitfalls of market-led solutions to the water crisis. - IMDb -
