Brave Blue World

The film is ok. The technologies shown are interesting and inspire some hope in the survival of the humanity, but the simplest and maybe the most important solution was not even mentioned. Ok, home filters of the "grey" water waste can save several thousand liters of water per month, but let's have a look at another example. The production cycle of just one liter of milk requires around a thousand liters of water; one burger patty requires several thousands liters. Just by switching to an oat or soy milk and ditching beef (and preferably all the meat) you will save enormous amounts of water, hundreds of thousands liters per year just in your household. We need to think globally. Water is used not only in our taps, but for all the products which we buy and we eat.

This film tells us about inovative ways of conserving water, conjuring water where there is none and dealing with it once it becames waste.

Full of vaporware tech. It was painful to watch. So many contradictions between chapters. The odd chapters was interesting just to see existing industrial complex but mostly awful. And the narrative was just silly. How is this 7+ stars.

'It never ceases to amaze when the critics come out to play. I just can't figure out why they've zeroed in on a *positive* piece as this. It's astounding. I'd normally ignore yet I know for a fact - human nature dictates - there's hundreds of positive folk for each 'hater' (scientific or bias accuser) up here. Yes, I get that there's DuPont and others. I concur the big players are not playing well. Yet, we collectively must (must!) work towards the good stuff.

As far as I'm aware this is an optimistic look at the options. I commend the makers and I too am biased, I've known of this in the works for years. I am thrilled it's out there and moreover grateful, to cut-through the chat and get the new message to the new scientist who will over time weed out the institutionalized neg-heads. Sorry to sound crass or cruel, I don't mean to. But the gentle whiff of positivity needs to be encouraged and protected. Go make your own documentary and let me know and I'll support you all the way. Meantime, please treat this one as a 'asks the right questions' piece, that let's remember has really make it to the mainstream, as this has! A piece of work to inspire and hopefully to lead by! Congratulations!''

I recently watched this documentary with my family and kids over the weekend. I was eager to see what Matt Damon had to say about water!! All of my family enjoyed the film and learned something new including my 8 and 9 year old kids who have just informed me they would like to work in water!

The solutions presented were the right mix of science and story and the film really broke down some of the challenges in the water industry.

I hope there will be a Brave Blue part 2 or a series where they will go more into detail about each of the different areas within this complex industry.

(Beth's story was without doubt my favourite!)
