Other settings include Malawi and Hawaii. All four showings focus on important issues concerning our world's water.
After the movie, Catawba Riverkeeper David Merryman will lead a panel discussion. Senator Dan Clodfelter of North Carolina and Bruce Henderson of the Charlotte Observer will participate.
