Flush It

New film challenges water worriers

ITV — This compelling documentary made by WORLDwrite volunteers promises to put aspirations for Western levels of water provision and sanitation on the map for developing countries.

The film interweaves concerns about local water shortages, global water scarcity and toilet history with aspirations for grand projects and excellent loos.

Eritrean refugee Tiba is at the centre of the film. Pontificating from her own bath full of bubbles in London Tiba considers everything from depleted aquifers to desalination to Livingstone’s plea not to flush.

Tiba’s dream informs us that pit latrines stink, while experts help flush it and remind us that water can never run out.
